If Russia "acchieves nothing", then Ukraine could freeze the war now, accept its territorial losses since they are nothing, and end the war for the time being by accepting Russia's demands. Lets do it, since Russia has not acchieved anything anyway.
Its propaganda videos, and that fact could even be ignored - if such stuff would not serve a self-assuring purpose in the West to replace needed action and supportive assistance with just emotional cheers. "All is going well. We must not change or add to our doing, Ukraine will win this all by itself."
Nothing is going well.
Ukraine loses. Its retreats mostly are not tactical intention but they are enforced by Russian battlefield superiority. Ukraine's defeats are defeats, not clever traps it sets up. For its Kursk adventure it paid a terrible price in Donezk. And I said from beginning on that I was not convinced by the claimed wisdom in it. Kursk is strategically irrelevant for Russia, its just a an itching in its national pride. While Kursk happend, Russia conquered twice a smuch territory in Donezk - and that is very very strategically and economically relevant for Ukraine's war present and industry future.
Nothing is going well. Only a fool cannot see it.
We all, the whole West, fails in this. Ukraine pays the price now. We will pay the price later.
