> it gives russian an end to the war, which they need badly now. what makes you think russia needs to end the war badly? the fact that west/us has been escalating (started with defensive antitank weapons and ended with f-16) and wanted to strike deep inside russia from ukraine using their long-range missiles as well as ukraine's use of reserves in the kursk gambit shows who is getting desperate here russia can keep this up for more years, while methodically destroying supplies and ukraine's fighting force, which is becoming as video related has been coming out for almost 2 years now there will be more destruction and deaths, but the outcome will be the same and us will have to choose once again: fight a nuclear superpower or fuck off if needed, russia will just escalate and nuke some military hubs and bases in poland and elsewhere to me the outcome of this conflict was clear from day 1, and there was no worry: russia cannot lose; either russia wins or everyone in the northern hemisphere loses
Russian Federation
