I saw a report that Russia will wrap up their operation on May 9.

Anniversary of the Victory over Nazis in WWII.

All of the East is secured by the break-away republics. The Russians have encircled the large Nazi contingent there and that will take a while to resolve. The Russians have almost secured the Black Sea access: just a couple more cities to the west. As far as Kiev and the rest of Ukraine, I have no idea what Russia's goals are there?

Once they landlock Ukraine they will come to the table to negotiate. The land Russia grabbed will be brought into the Russian fold, which will force Ukraine proper to agree to terms of not joining NATO or the UN because doing so would mean that Ukraine would have no access to waterways because Russia will own them. Which until recently was one of their lifelines.

Again, Russia is winning the short game, the long game they are going to lose.

Can you define "long game"(a year a decade, a century)and "lose"? Also how you reached this conclusion?

[Martin Hash]

Everyone is going to lose the long game. Hell, Russia might lose it less than we do.

That's where I am too.

Womp womp.

Two months after responding to President Volodymyr Zelensky's call, sniper Wali is back in Quebec – unscathed, although he nearly lost his life there “several times”. But most foreign fighters who have visited Ukraine like him have come away bitterly disappointed, mired in the fog of war without even having been to the front lines once.
