    Why should they concede anything. They’re a sovereign nation, and owe nothing. The war can end right now by Russia returning back whence it came.

      Because they are losing the war. The world does not run on Marvel-logic, Russia isn’t going to stop until their stated goals are met.

        Oh, now it’s a war again. Before that you called it a special military operation. At least you are learning. Slowly, but hey: baby steps.

          They largely mean the same thing. Russia calls it the SMO, others call it the Russo-Ukrainian War, etc. It doesn’t really matter what it’s called, I’ve used the two interchangeably.

        They may be “losing”. But Russia isn’t entirely “winning” either.

            How much ground does Russia have now at day 1000 ish vs day 3 of their invasion of a sovereign nation?

              They currently have all of Donetsk and Luhansk, and are gradually encircling Kiev’s forces in the other 2 oblasts.

                  And Ukraine is stalling the inevitable, when all of this could have been avoided had peace talks not been sabotaged months into the war by the US and UK.

                    lol they weren’t sabotaged.

                    Peace talks after being invaded saying give us your land and we will stop hitting you are not peace talks. It would spur them on to do the same to other nations around Ukraine.

                    You really need to learn how to spot propaganda.
