Zelenskyy puts Ukraine’s losses at 55,000 soldiers killed, calls Russia’s demands an ultimatum and warns neighbours they could be Moscow’s next targets.
You’re being downvoted, but honestly, who can really say either way.
During war, we should expect everything officially stated by both sides to be propaganda. Sometimes it’s true, sometimes exaggerated, sometimes a lie, either to deceive the enemy, or others.
I want to believe the positive statistics of course, but I take it all with a grain of salt.
Even a good, moral leader would be stupid to always tell the unvarnished truth during wartime.
If Russia actually had the manpower and hardware to overwhelm Ukraine and achieve their objectives, they would ahave done so years before now. They are stalling. The west could end this whole conflict relatively quickly if they wanted to. Simply sever all diplomatic AND economic ties with Russia and with any country that doesn’t do exactly the same. China and India would fall in line almost instantly and Putin’s efforts would collapse like a house of cards.

That’s the main problem I have with western support of Ukraine, it all feels like just enough to take advantage of rebuilding after the war.
