Yesterday the Russians announced, publicly, that they will settle for just the bits of Ukraine on the east side that they have controlled for several years. The original Russian war aim was to take over the whole of Ukraine and make it into just another Russian province.
Anyhow courageous and stout Ukrainian resistance has made the Russians drop back from taking over all of Ukraine to just taking over a small slice of territory on the east border between Ukraine and Russia. Land that the Russians invaded some years ago, and have held ever since, despite serious objections (armed objections) from Ukraine.
Anyhow,
congratulations to Ukraine
for hanging tough and forcing the Russians to back down. Keep hanging in there and Ukraine might be able to force the Russians to pull out and Ukraine to keep all its land. Resistance has cost Ukraine a lot. The TV shows endless shots of blown up apartment buildings, women and children fleeing, fires, and destruction. Resistance to the Russians has not been cheap.
