    Well. If that is true. Russia cannot win a proxy war it seems. Let alone when NATO actually joins the war.

    But no, this is not a proxy war against Russia… Russia attacked, Ukraine asked for help, and some countries (that are also in NATO) decided to help.

              No, I am not Russian, and taking a racist stance immediately is absurd.

              Ukraine is day by day losing ground, and is running out of people willing to fight, resorting to conscription and even kidnappings. This is no mere “misinformation,” OSINT mapping channels continue to make it clear that Russia is steadily gaining ground. Moreover, Ukraine lacks the ability to continue to spread out this war, as quantitative losses build up, qualitative leaps in war development continue. What seems to be a slow encroachment on Russia’s part comes with decreasing capabilities on Ukraine’s side to match this, resulting in Kiev’s desparate attempts to turn this into a broader war by targeting Iranian ships.

              Ukraine is holding none of the cards right now. The front line is giving away beneath their feet day by day, and are going to end up as a rump state with disastrous demographic collapse that the EU will be forced to prop up in the years following the war. The ones most hurt by this war are the Ukrainian working classes, the compradors in power in Ukraine are largely safe, and Russia is steadily achieving all of its stated aims.
