The only people who said that Russia wanted to conquer Ukraine in three days are western propagandists. There isn’t single statement from Russia saying anything remotely like that.

Who made more progress since the Russians were pushed back?

Russia literally gained more territory during Ukraine’s offensive than Ukraine did.

At least you and I both agree Putin needs to be toppled.

Who do you think would replace Putin exactly. Putin is a moderate in Russia. You think Medvedev or Karyrov are gonna be more restrained? You’re just utterly clueless.

But is this tacit admission of Russia is going to lose anyhow?

Please don’t put words in my mouth. Only an utter imbecile would look at what’s happening and think that Russia is going to lose.
