You do know that the people of Kiev still have water, electricity, heat, and cellphone service.
Why is that? Because the Ukrainian defenses are so great that they are protecting the infrastructure? Or because the Russian army is so incompetent they aren’t able to disrupt it? Or that Russia is waging a war where they are trying to do as little damage as possible.
We are living in a world of lies. The Russians are purposely not destroying the country, unlike what the US does in every war. We are not used to seeing a war fought this way, so we just follow the narrative that they are losing.
The reality is that Russia is winning. Zelensky has already agreed to stop pursing NATO and giving away parts of the country to Russia. That’s basically a surrender. Russia, of course isn’t even meeting with him, because theyknow that shortly they will take over the entire country and install a puppet as leader.
Keep believing that Russia is losing though. And when the war is over and Ukraine loses, you can think up an excuse about what happened.
We have all been laughing at Putin's 4D chess but you seem to actually believe it.
Lets examine the winning:
They have lost a similar number of men in a month of fighting in Ukraine than they lost during the entire decade they spent in Afghanistan and more than the US loss the entirety of Iraq.


The bodies of Russian soldiers are piling up in Ukraine, as Kremlin conceals true toll of war | CNN
The first warm, sunny days of spring in the southern Mykolaiv region are ushering in a grim new reality: the smell of the dead.
As of yesterday, 5 generals and 5 colonels killed in large part because poor troop morale and ineffective communications made going closer to the front a necessity:

Full List of Every Russian Commander Killed Fighting Ukraine War
Some 15 Russian commanders have been believed to be killed by Ukrainian forces since the invasion began on February 24.

They destroyed the towers needed for their encrypted communication systems (seriously), so we can literally listen to russian troops complain about having no fuel, food and being attacked by their own all while the Ukrainians jam and shit talk their communications:" Go home. It is better to be a deserter than fertilizer."


Kiev still has utilities because the Russians are ill-equipped, unmotivated and lack the tactical ability to take it. They are 20+ KM further from Kiev now than they were last week and currently taking defensive positions but Russia is winning.


The ability to push back Russian forces nearly twice as far as where they had been for weeks is in line with what the official had said on Tuesday were indications that in some areas Ukrainian forces were attempting to retake territory taken by Russia. "Ukrainians are not only in some of these places up sufficiently defending they're going on the offense in some of these places and actually pushing the Russians backwards, or in the case of Kiev, they're, they're basically forcing them into a defensive position," the official said Wednesday.
The U.S. now assesses that Russian troops that have been stalled 12 to 15 kilometers north of the city are "digging in" and establishing defensive positions according to the official. "They're forcing them into a defensive position" the official told reporters on Wednesday. "So it's not that they're not advancing, they're actually not trying to advance right now," said the official. "They're taking more defensive positions."

Ukraine’s military forces Russian troops east of Kyiv back 55 km from city center
Ukraine's military forces have pushed Russian forces east of Kyiv back 55 kilometers from the city center and Russian troops north of the capital are now "digging in".
They are following the same pattern that they used in Grozny and Aleppo of trying to destroy cities and terrorize the civilian population but still losing. Nobody on the planet would have anticipated for the Ukrainians to now be pushing for recognition of the 1991 border when this shit started but Zelensky asked for it a week ago


Ukraine says it stands firm on recognition of 1991 borders
Ukraine's president has not altered his stance that his country's borders must be recognised as the frontiers it had at the time of the Soviet Union's collapse in 1991, an aide said on Thursday.
