Russia had won before the damned war started. The criminals running Ukraine and America pushed Putin into invading, and they got what they asked for. A useless, pointless waste of human life, in which a small number of evil men enriched themselves.

Putin will only win something significant if it either surrounds Kiev or takes all the coastline. So far it's gained a bit of oil bearing rock in the East, secured Sevastopol and lumbered himself with global sanctions.

Putin started a war he should have easily won, and then didn't. This is what happens when the Strong Man surrounds himself with Yes men. Trump take note.

Notice his stooges keep blustering about nuclear weapons, because that's all he's got left to save face

It always was a stupid plan with no exit strategy
