Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday that Russia had trapped the remaining Ukrainian soldiers in its western Kursk region, where they have held on for more than seven months in one of the most important battles of the war.

      They can’t win without additional troops.

      I wish I could say I don’t know why you people don’t realize it, but I get it now.

        The Russia cannot win without additional troops either. And they cannot get those.

        Eventually the Russia’s economy will collapse, and at that point it will lose the war and has to leave Ukraine.

        Ukraine cannot win the war, but has enough support that it also will not lose it. The Russia cannot win the war, and doesn’t have enough support to avoid eventually losing it.

        Once the Russia has lost the war, it has to leave Ukraine, because then there’s nothing it can do to stop Ukrainian forces from taking its territories back.

        It is irrelevant that Ukraine cannot win the war, since the Russia is doomed to lose it.
