  1. Why is it in all these discussions, we hear only western and Ukranian perspectives, without the Russian view ? That is the reason why these people have underestimated Russia, and both west and Ukranians have delusions about fighting Russia. Ukraine, NATO and EU miscalculated by trying to expand NATO to Russia's borders. It was predicted that Russia would go to war if this happened. When Russia goes for war, they will not back down, and in the end, Russia will prevail. The Ukrainians can fight (they are like the Russians), but Russians can also fight, and they have superior military strength and economic strength. The west also over estimated its capacity for economic warfare against Russia. The sanctions did not work, and the west did not realise Russia has powerful economic leverage to strike back. Russia has created economic hardship for the west, and they have also strangled Ukraine's economy by the Black Sea blockade. They just have to wait, Ukraine needs 5 billion per month for monthly expenditure, and the west has to fork out the money. Supporting Ukraine with arms and monthly expenses for an indefinite period is beyond European capability. Russia has all the strong cards. Weapons deliveries are not going to change matters. The Ukranians as usual say send us more weapons and we shall get back Crimea. The west is not capable of delivering the weapons quickly and it cannot afford it. Already NATO and western leaders are dropping hints that Ukraine must negotiate and cede territory. Even Biden says the new arms is for strengthening Ukraine's negotiating hand ! So the US also knows Ukraine cannot win, and in the end Ukraine has to cede more land. What is the mood in Kiev like ? The lady Tatiana tries to put on a positive spin on a losing game. She says Russia is struggling to capture Severodonetsk, it is a small city, they are taking so much time.
