The reports are accurate of "some" Russian troops, low on morale and supplies and food, surrendering. It is true that Russia has not taken any key cities, Kharkiv, Kyiv, or Mariupol. Maybe 200 Russians/day have been killed. Russians loathe war and Russian mothers are the vanguard of Russian war opposition.
But. However. Look at these maps:
Feb. 24
Feb. 25
March 1
The Russian advance has not been halted; it has not stalled. More and more of north-central Ukraine is red and the Reds are laying siege to Kyiv. It has only been six days for crissakes. Those maps show a rout, not a blunting, a repelling, a slowing, much less an evicting of the invader.. Where is there any progress by Ukraine?
