While I'd also like Ukraina to bravely defend their lands, currently they are fighting a losing battle.

Yes, maybe they regained Kharkiv, and good for them, but they are still losing ground on other sides. No war was ever won in 2-3 days (except those where someone surrendered quickly, like Denmark in WW2, or laid down their arms at someone's order, like Afghanistan).

To give an example, France lasted 6 weeks in WW2. I do hope that Putin stops this war against Ukraine... but I'm also a realist and know he won't. He will win this battle. And his war will continue against others too in the future. Probably Moldova next, which will surely fall even faster, being a smaller country with a weaker military.

That being said, this was is proven somewhat costly for Russia. Even if they do win it, they have shown that their military is weakly prepared, both in training and in equipment.

The true question is what will happen afterwards. With Ukraine, with Russia, with the world.
