The US is winning in this scenario. Arms sales are up and Russia is getting massively degraded. China are seeing the West’s resolve and Russia’s threat to western democracy has finally been understood and acted upon.
Where's your proof? I don't see headlines about Russia retreating.
Ukraine keeps asking for more weapons. If they were winning why do they need more?
Russia should do everyone a favor and drop nukes on the decision making centers in Brussels and Kiev. Time to play chicken with the Deep State.
https://www.cnbc.com/2022/08/23/russia-ukraine-live-updates.htmlUkraine calls for more weapons and sanctions on Russia; UN says nearly 18 million people need aidThe U.S. State Department issued a warning over the threat of increased Russian strikes on Ukraine during the week of its independence day on Aug. 24, urging remaining Americans in Ukraine to leave the country. Kyiv is bracing itself for fresh Russian attacks that its President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has warned may be “particularly nasty.”
The U.N. continued to sound the alarm over the situation at Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, Europe’s largest, demanding a demilitarization of the area and warning that the world is facing a moment of “maximum danger.” A worker at the plant died of his injuries due to Russian shelling near the facility, Ukraine’s state energy company said.
Meanwhile, the volume of grain leaving Ukraine’s ports for export has increased to more than 700,000 metric tons.
Ukraine’s Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov called for additional weapons and tighter sanctions on Russia as the Kremlin’s war approaches its sixth month, a somber milestone that coincides with Ukraine’s Independence Day.
“Sanctions should be tightened and loopholes closed. Russian citizens should face a Schengen Zone tourist visa ban, with only humanitarian cases permitted to enter the EU,” Reznikov wrote for the Atlantic Council.
Reznikov also called on Western governments to support Ukraine with more weapons and humanitarian aid.
“The current war is not just about Ukraine. It is a struggle to determine who gets to set the rules the whole world will live by,” he wrote.
“It is also a wake-up call for the many Europeans still in denial over the threat facing the continent from a hostile Russia,” he added.
