Since the war started, Russia has lost all of its advanced radar planes, it's Black Sea Fleet, 18% of it's oil refinery capacity, billions in international trade, access to the SWIFT systems, Indian arms deals, and most (if not all) of their foreign reserves, while facing 18% YoY inflation, a devalued currency and a brain drain of 1M young, educated workers.
But Russia has gained 8% of Ukraine's land, some of which contains oil, which Russia already had in abundance.

The Financial Times has found out that the United States has purportedly urged Ukraine not to hit Russian oil refineries and other energy infrastructure facilities, as it is concerned that this could lead to higher energy prices and further escalation.
"As long as it takes!!"

There were before and after satellite photos of what Russia claimed was THE ammo storage depot for Ukraine. In fact, it is where decades OLD solid fuel ballistic missiles had been stored for decades, with degraded solid fuel that still made a big bang. Likely stored there by the USSR from their agreement in START to reduce their solid fuel ballistic missiles.

You can try and pretend you’re some neutral contrarian all you want, but you’re on record here crying that we have been too mean to the Russians for “decades,” meaning going back to when they were the Soviets. You just need to accept your identity and go to a DSA meeting, link up arms and express solidarity with the “global south” while having a candlelight vigil for big mean US imperialism.

Source? Should be easy to find. Ask Tigris or Obtuse, they've apparently been through every single one of my posts in the last 24 hours

So is Ukraine winning and Russia losing this conflict? Please clarify.

I’m not claiming to know the positions of anyone’s arguments here, but this seems a pretty weak counter, unless it was stated “since the 1980s” or something.
As they haven’t technically “been Soviets” in 33 years. How many decades is that?

"since the war started". But in the last 24 hours, Russia has destroyed about 1/2 of Ukraine's power generating capability, a claim that would be very easy for western spooks to verify .
Western media has no comment
FAFO is pretty much the Russian strategy to hold the nazi's in check

Iskander just hit the port in Odessa

We are wasting so much and it seems unrealistic that Ukraine can/will win. Let's go ahead and finish these fools because they're not gonna stop at Ukraine!

port in Odessa
So instead of going after Ukraine war production, Russia is targeting their port infrastructure to make it impossible for them to export grain?

Ukraine's PM says Ukraine needs 24 hours to completely restore power supply to population
Economichna Pravda — Friday, 22 March 2024, 16:59
It will take 24 hours to reconnect all household consumers who have been cut off from the power grid due to the Russian attack on Ukraine's energy system.
Source: Ukraine's Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal at a government meeting
Details: The minister noted that Russia's strikes today (22 March) primarily targeted the Ukrainian energy sector. About 20 substations and power plants have been hit, including the Dnipro hydroelectric power plant.
"Most importantly, the power grid is integral, and the power system operates stably. Thanks to the additional protection of our power facilities, we have withstood the attack. There is no capacity shortage, and none is currently expected. Repair crews are working around the clock to restore power to Ukrainian homes as soon as possible," Shmyhal added.
The Ukrainian prime minister explained that the power supply will be restored in three stages:
first, critical infrastructure (heat supply, water supply, hospitals) will be reconnected;
the second stage will involve supplying power to the population;
the third stage will be to supply power to industry.
"Early reports indicate that we need 24 hours to reconnect all household consumers to the power supply. We will gradually recover everything. Ukrenergo [Ukraine's national energy company] and the Ministry of Energy will provide all additional details," the prime minister concluded.
Background:
The Russian missile attack on 22 March hit the Dnipro hydroelectric power plant in Zaporizhzhia, which is the largest of its kind in Ukraine. There is no threat of a breach, and the situation at the dam is under control.
Emergency power outages were introduced in a range of Ukrainian oblasts due to Russian missile strikes on Ukrainian power system facilities.
Subsequently, Ukrenergo ordered that household consumers in all oblasts of Ukraine, except Kharkiv, Odesa, Khmelnytskyi and Dnipropetrovsk, be reconnected to the power supply.

8%?
I don't like Russia either but they appear to have taken 20-25% of Ukraine, and if they can grind out that pincer movement to the west so they can get to that narrow north-south belt, I don't see how Ukraine can hang on unless we (the US, not NATO) do it for them.
We should not.

Looks very very bad. Possibly a false flag?
