      Hundreds of Russians dying every week doesn’t seem like winning to me, maybe we have different definitions

      Edit: don’t forget the burning refineries and lineups for gasoline. Are we winning in the Trumpian sense here?

        It’s pretty clear that the casualties on the Ukrainian side are far worse and that Ukraine has a far smaller population meaning that Russia will prevail in a war of attrition. Meanwhile, if burning refineries would win the war that would again mean Russia wins the war because they’re doing the same thing in Ukraine on a far bigger scale.
