Despite utilizing vast superiority in numbers and armaments, the past twelve months have seen Putin's forces claw back only around 1,609 square miles—chiefly in Donbas, which is a mere 0.69 percent of Ukrainian territory. This territorial expansion has come at an appalling human cost; Ukraine's Ministry of Defence estimates Russia's military casualties last year exceeded 430,000, despite Putin's forces being bolstered by North Korean troops.

The Russians have already won.
American capitation...that is American recognition of the facts.... is only a matter of time.
Half a million Russian casualties to capture one percent of Ukraine - I'm guessing 30 million Russian casualties to capture Kyiv.
Yes it was. Putin's stated objective for the war was to remove the 'Nazi' regime in Kyiv and demilitarize the nation of Ukraine.
They have not won. And as for "only a matter of time", at the rate they are going it is a few hundred years.
I don't know if even Russians are willing to tolerate 30 million casualties and five decades to capture Kyiv.
Putin told them five years ago he could take down Ukraine in two weeks.

Do you realize what a moronic statement this is, of course you don’t, invading a sovereign nation is the epitome of Imperial Empire aggression.
