“If the command of our army withdraws people from certain points of the front where the enemy has the greatest fire superiority, in particular this applies to Lysychansk, it means only one thing: We will return thanks to our tactics, thanks to the increase in the supply of modern weapons,” Zelensky said in his nightly address. “Ukraine does not give anything up.”

Small wins for the great Russian Army. Ukraine will soon take it back when the Russians run out of long distance shells. Russians have no will to fight a war that Putin has created to fight their brothers. It's a very stupid war where no one wins in the end and the Russians will be hated for hundreds of years ,win or lose.

 This University of Chicago professor has been predicting for a long time that Russia would invade Ukraine if the west (USA) kept poking them.  I think his commentary is spot on and Ukrainians are truly screwed.
