I’m in a city 50 miles from the border with Ukraine.
Your number of 250,000 injured or killed is a lie. A flat and total lie.
Yes, the Ukrainians have lost many fighters it iś closer to 10,000 than your fictional number.
Also no desertions everyday in the numbers you say.
If Ukraine winning more territory? Yes, but that’s in sq metres and is balanced by Russian gains.
It is a stalemate, a trench war.
If kherson falls then that is a nig deal.
However Ukraine has won by not collapsing in 2 weeks.
Check my posts back in February. I didn’t believe they would be able to survive 2 weeks of a war with r6.
But they did. That’s a win.
It’s akin to Belgium in 1940 holding off Nazi Germany
What are you talking about?
Russia isn’t advancing on Mykolaiv. That’s fake news.
The USA didn’t do that.
Putin brought about the death of the Russian soldiers.
And he took his gloves off in march.
Putin wasn’t dumb. However his Feb 24 invasion of Ukraine was dumb.
He could have taken over the Donbas eith no sanctions or impact. But he overpl6his hand and lost thousands of elite troops.
Russia isn’t advancing on Mykolaiv. That’s fake news.

Jezz I said ‘toward’ not ‘on’. Read much. “creating a pincer toward Mykolaiv “
‘Toward’ is a general direction as in: he pointed to the East, toward NYC. There is a road that, if the pincer were successful, leads directly toward Mykolaiv
Thanks for the correction.
