It’s more of a stalemate, while technically every day Ukraine exists is a victory, ideally they’d be in a position to retake thier own land. Meanwhile the only long term possibility the Kremlin has been pursuing is expending vast quantities of men and material in hopes that Nato gets bored before they have to conscript from the cities and get overthrown.
A well noted part of this campaign has been in attempts to foster misinformation and shake confidence in the ability of Ukraine to hold the line and eventually take back its land and people from the invading imperial power.
If you are interested and have a spare hour, Perun’s recent piece on the political war is excellent as always.

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg warned that the Western military alliance should be ready for bad news from the Ukrainian front as Kyiv continues to defend against Russia’s all-out invasion.
“Wars develop in phases,” Stoltenberg said in an interview Saturday with German broadcaster ARD.
His comments come as Western allies debate over ammunition and financial aid for Ukraine, and as Moscow boosts its troop levels.
Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree on Friday to increase the number of soldiers by some 170,000 to a total of 1.3 million.
Stoltenberg called on NATO’s members to ramp up the production of ammunition, bemoaning the fragmented state of Europe’s defense industry.
A victory for Putin would not only be a tragedy for Ukraine but it would also present a danger for the rest of the allies, Stoltenberg said.
Ugh they are also the ones dumping this stupid celeb news on Samsung phones (called upday). First thing I remove from my phone, unfortunately Samsung still dumps it on every phone (be careful it often runs in the background without noticing, and it’s built into the home screen).

Yes, because the last two years have been so full of fantastically good news.
Even the loss of Bahmut, which fell in March, has never been admitted by UA.

if you listen to the European and US propaganda, then it is.
What are others saying?
3 day special military operation.
If we keep giving them some scraps and some patched up cold war writeoffs then yeah… What are they going to do. Both sides have lost momentum.
The whole thing feels like a stalemate now.

There is no context and nothing specific, as the headline makes it seem. He is just putting out phrases in an interview:
Politico.eu got bought by Axel Springer, Germany’s Fox News, 2 years ago.
Ugh they are also the ones dumping this stupid celeb news on Samsung phones (called upday). First thing I remove from my phone, unfortunately Samsung still dumps it on every phone (be careful it often runs in the background without noticing, and it’s built into the home screen).
Thank you for much valued context.
Adding politico.eu 0.0.0.0 to my hosts file.
Noooooooooo. I’m beginning you, remove this line. Pleeeeeeeaaaaasssse. Noooooooooo. Otherwise I’ll die.
So it’s Politico came up with this fake news? Alright:

The fact is that if even European official admits it, then it must’ve been bad for UA for a good half a year if not a year already.
The article is light in new information. He’s basically saying let’s continue to support Ukraine.
