I would like to say that everyone in your life you consider close will be happy when you’re gone, but the reality is most of them won’t even notice.

They were supposed to win the first time they tried to attack Kyiv and got stuck in the mud. Not a single thing has gone to Russia's supposed plan, and Ukrainian winter just started.

It's like Putin hadn't learned anything from the Germans' attempted invasion of Stalingrad.

Russia tried to take all of Ukraine and was defeated by Ukraine.

So to save face Russia then tried to target the main cities in Ukraine forming long convoy lines that got totally destroyed and forced Russia to retreat again.

To save Face Russia said they only want a region at their borders as they invaded. Ukraine is currently making more and more gains, liberating more and more cities. And even got major ones.

Now Russia is throwing a tantrum and bombing civilians because they realized they don't have the military capabilities to take any Ukraine land, or even defend against Ukraine liberating the cities.

One thing is certain. Ukraine will win. Every day Ukraine is getting stronger with better weapon systems. First it was Howitzers. Then HIMARS. Now they are getting the Patriot Missiles. What will they be getting next?

And Everyday Russia is getting weaker. And more Desperate. The only question is how many more Russian lives with Putin send to their deaths before finally giving up.

Well the real question is will Putin give back Ukrainian land peacefully to ease up some of the sanctions. Or will he hold out until Ukraine forces them completely out and then Russia will be sanctioned for the foreseeable future like Cuba was.

Either way Russia has lost by any count.

The west hasn't even arrived yet lol

How will Russia afford it?

Didn't Russia sue for peace after the fall of Sevestapol and lose the Crimean War?

Example makes no sense, considering Russia lost the Crimean War.
