  1.  @christophertriantis4993  Nah, Russia won this war. What we are seeing is Ukraine making sure the win is not much more then what Russia wanted to win.

  2. I do not think so. It looks like Russians have totally moved out of the area.

  3.  @dogwhistle8836  If they taken Kiev then what? West would not accept any puppet government there & Z would try to take Kiev back. Ukraine has lost the war as they are getting further and further away from their victory condition while Russia is getting closer and closer.

  5.  @DefensePoliticsAsia  It looks like Russians moved out of the area and only screening force is there.

  6.  @MyBigBoss  LOL, as you can see Russia is staunchly defending Kherson. Russia has won as they are moving forward slowly without taking much of a loss. Its OK to move out of terrain you never really wanted. Remember the goal of the operation is only to take Donbass back. Only Donbass. Anything else is a "bonus".

  9.  @MyBigBoss  Putin does not need to redefine anything - Russian goals are well known - Donbass.

  10.  @saeed7099  Sure, but not the lost land that Russia wants to keep. They were unable to reclaim any of it.

  11.  @Idk_about_anything  True, but they did not hold Kherson since 2014 till recently and Crimea was fine. Kherson was never asked for by Russia in peace negotiations - it was recognition of Crimea as part of Russia and recognition of Donbass. Nothing more!
