Tell me what is the impact of these sanctions on the frontline. From what I can see, Ukraine is losing more and more territory as the war progresses and Zelensky is claiming that hundreds of his soldiers are getting killed every day. And remember that all this happened despite Ukraine receiving funds and equipment from 40+ countries.
As a result, it has come to a point where Ukraine is only a scapegoat. I do not support anything related to war that results in casualties. If Ukraine did not oppose, for example, returning to a path where the country position did not accept NATO offer, it might not be as chaotic as this. I'm just assuming that the west has killed Ukraine behind the scenes. It's not just about Russia being at the forefront, but when Russia is pushing back against the Western economy, it's clear that Ukraine is a soft bait.
It must be taken into account that when Russia attacked Ukraine from three sides, including from the territory of Belarus, there was a front with a length of approximately 2450 km. Putin threw into Ukraine eight of his armies numbering about 200 thousand people, and there were so many armored vehicles that they marched in continuous columns along all major highways. What army would have withstood the onslaught of such an invasion? That is why Putin hoped to seize Ukraine in 3-5 days, and all Western politicians, including the United States, did not give Ukraine a single chance to survive. But a month later, the "second army of the world" shamefully fled from the central and northern territories of Ukraine, so as not to be completely defeated.
There is a sixth month of bloody war. What do we see on the map, what territories has Russia captured during this time? In the east, the front has moved only slightly from what it has been since 2014. In the south, the front almost stands where it formed after a few days of Russian invasion. The remaining territories continue to be under the control of Ukraine. Russia actually does not have any success in this war. From the beginning of the torsion on February 24, only in the first days, Russia captured one regional center - Kherson out of 25 such centers. And that was where her success ended.
Now, in the Kherson region, a large group of Russians numbering approximately 25,000 people is practically surrounded and under the fire control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This is the remaining elite of the Russian troops - the Airborne Forces and other special forces. If they are defeated, it will be a turning point in this war.
