Just some people I follow on social media. But I heard it more than once today. No actual proof of anything of course. It could just as easily be one person started a rumor in an echo chamber. But if true, we'll know very very soon.
Seems doubtful. Russia has either lost, or strategically abandoned nearly half the territory that initially took. Unless something changes, Ukraine seems to be happy to keep things chugging along and staying propped up with aid.
You think so? If Russia was on the run then why the sudden need for immediate military aid? The Fake News can't have it both ways. They can't say Russia is losing while at the same time saying Ukraine is in desperate need for aid. They need to pick a narrative.
Ukraine has a GDP that is 9 times smaller than Russia. They had less than 1/10th the military spending that Russia had in 2021. Russia has over 3 times the population as well.
By all accounts and estimations (including those in the west), Russia should have decisively won in the first few weeks. Russia is massively under performing. They haven't been able to even hold their initial gains they made early in the war. Still, Russia is a heavy hitter. If all aid was cutoff today, Ukraine could probably still hold out for months, maybe even years. Their victories and progress so far has solidified their resolve and there does not seem to be an danger of a political coup. They might be able to reach some kind of a stalemate and negotiate a ceasefire. But that isn't winning.
For Ukraine to realistically go on an offensive they would need heavy weapons and aid to keep their economy afloat.
Also, in the long term, even if Russia was able to overrun and occupy Ukraine, the war has been extremely costly for them. At best, it would be a Pyrrhic victory.
Where do you hear that rumor? I'd like to know more.

Either this is stinky bait, or someone is listening to Ukie propaganda.
Just let his number of downvotes be the judge.
