It is worth remembering that Ukraine has been fighting a Russian invasion since 2014. Between 2014 and February 2022, almostwere killed in the simmering war in the Donbas, but little or no military progress was made. Now, Ukraine is fighting with that same army in an expanded theater against a bigger opposing force.
Nonetheless, Russia now controls significantly more Ukrainian territory than before February 24. Putin’s army holds Kherson, whatever is left of Mariupol, all the intervening territory, and now not only Luhansk and Donetsk but the entire Donbas Oblast. For example, whereas Ukrainian authorities controlled approximately
My prayer to the people of Ukraine. So sad 💔
We stand with Ukraine! PutinPassport PutinWarCrimes StopPutin StopRussia WeStandWithUkraine
Except they are winning. Look at the time lapse territory control map. Ukraine is clearly winning. They are going to drive Russia completely out and take back their occupied territories too. Just watch.
好死 开香槟咯
Absolutely NO ONE wins in war.
We have approached a new phase, the west getting serious about helping the Ukrainians to finish this mess.
'... in Russia's incasion,...' Understand
Ugh. 😔
This article is just crap. 'It is worth remembering that Ukraine has been fighting a Russian invasion since 2014...'. Dig in the OCSE & UN reports and see that Ukraine Govt bombed, killed, tortured at leat 14.000 of it's own citizens starting from 2014.
Pro Russia article.
How does that fit together ? Sauna baths, including gay sauna baths are open in Mariupol, according to advertisements at Google Maps.
How many deaths before you are satisfied that they have no chance?
Desperation when you're claiming 'a form of victory'
Is Suriya a male or a female name?
It's not Russian infrastructure and ppl who are bn bombed, the West have to encourage Ukraine to be realistic and save the country.
I do hope the war will be over soon
Before the war, they said the Russians would win the war in the blink of an eye. Now they are saying 'the Ukraines won't win the war'. Fck them! The Ukraines will win. Justice will prevail.
FFS! Edit your shit before posting!
Win against Russia!
All these war analysts or war commentators haven’t step on Ukrainian soil just a day but they know everything about the war. It’s so funny how the press keep parroting lies & fake news about the war. A U.S general once said Russia will run of ammunitions in 10 days.
‘Victory’ 😂
It's going exactly how I thought it was. Russia is fighting with one hand tied behind their back and Ukraine is getting their ass kicked.
Russia isn't winning - everyday with sanctions is a big drag on their GDP and ability to to function as a modern society. And now Sweden and Finland are joining NATO.
Bullshit
Western media has been pushing Ukraine's position as being able to withstand Russia's military invasion with some claiming Ukraine's army is at the Russian border. In the end, Ukraine lost the fight. It says a lot about western media integrity.
I don't think the west understand the situation. It's not about winning. The Russians don't care about that. They just want to reduce them to a barely functioning state like Palestine so much that they the Ukrainians joining NATO would become a taboo and so far they're it well
Is Ukraine in the worse shape than *you* think?
Finally some real journalism 🙌
The war is just terrible
🎵'...and off she went with a Trumpety-Trump. Trump, Trump, Trump.'🎵
Ukraine? Jamais vaincu, niemals besiegt!
Now that we know Kyiv and the US led NATO spent 8 years training and stockpiling for the proxy war with lots of mercenaries, it's no more surprising. All the same, 🇷🇺 has achieved all her goals. Russia is safer today than it was three months ago. It is a worthy sacrifice!
Want kind of opinion piece of article is this Time? Your going to let an “energy” consultant who got wrapped up in an impeachment scandal for Trump write a unsourced paper for you? This is a new low even for you.
The war is now unwinnable for Russia. The only remaining question is the length of time it takes for Russia to concede defeat and withdraw from all occupied territory except maybe the enclaves that they had already seized in previous war.
Now look at Russia.
But they already have the ultimate equipment from NATO 😱
They're closer to winning this thing then they are losing it.
Ukraine should stop believeing that they are not losing the war…they are clearly losing the war…and they should surrender…ITS ALREADY AFFECTING THE ECONOMY GLOBALY ! For your GODS SAKE…SURRENDER AND STOP THE WAR NOW!
To be honest I sensed a Pyrrhic victory for whoever ‘won’
No one truly wins a war.
This is a terrible article, poorly argued, very poorly supported. We all know, and can see, that Ukraine is taking a beating from wanton Russian destruction, but the writer assumes that Russian occupation equals control equals strategic success. This is simply a codswallop.
Russia also has the same with now dwindling support across the world
I've been thinking this for awhile...if Russia pulled out tomorrow, it would take 20 years and a trillion dollars to get Ukraine back to where it had been before the invasion. No winners here...just different degrees of losing.
Fails to consider 90% of the land RU now occupies was taken in about the first week. UAF is defending in-depth. Which means they give up land in exchange for Russian casualties and loss of equipment. Their counter attacks focus on weaker parts of the Russian lines.
Of course it is. Get hundreds of gallons of 🔵 and 🟡 paint. Paint ugly russian trucks tanks and artillery. Make ugly into beautiful works of art.
This is lazy journalism, no one expected Ukraine to be in good shape being bullied by Putin's rouge military
It's about as good result as you can expect when a huge country invades a smaller one. 'It's not in good shape '.. no sh*t , thousands of tanks, troops, planes and ships have decimated the country for months. It's not going to fair well 🤦🏼♂️😳
FoxNews is Biden pushing Russia for military presence in Cuba if no resolution over Nato expansion to Russia border ?
The old 1984 doublethink ...not winning is winning but still not winning is winning the not winning
The Vietnamese won didn’t they? Sometimes the little guy prevails. Cup half empty guy or Putin propagandist?
It is not just Ukraine though is it. They have around 3:1 numerical superiority in Ukraine, have been armed to the teeth by the US etc, trained to NATO standards and have military advisors and help from US intelligence..... ....and they are still losing badly in the real world.
JFC Ukraine is winning. CRUSHING Russian forces across a 600km +- front. What is this garbage? 'Not winning is still not winning'? Putinista headlines. Disgusting.
Nobody expects Ukraine to win. Are you joking Being the Hardy peoplee they are they are trying(and mostly succeedind) in inflicting maximum damage and wearing the Russians out and eesisting total subjugation.
Dear, Afghani taliban neither lose war but they lost everything in return. Dig it by urself. What they lost in 20 years of war before writing this article
AZOV have surrendered, 2227 Ukrainian soldiers and officers, as well as nationalists from Azov battalion, sitting in the basements of Azovstal
Just because the Nazi Azov Battalion in Azovstal surrendered to the Russians, doesn't mean the war is over and there is still plenty of time for Ukraine to lose the war which it will.
🇲🇲🇭🇹🇦🇫🇺🇦⋯⋯🤡🇬🇧🇺🇸🫡🫶🫰👍
Who better to ask about this war than………an energy diplomat?
fuck time magazine
Who said that? By that logic, we lost the Revolutionary War.
But 🇺🇦 is more than matched in ground weapons, bravery and determination!!!
Not loosing is a new narrative for not winning
Sanction USA UK China Pakistan for inciting wars with lies in greed for money, spreading Terrorism Nuclear Biological Chemical weapons. Remove them from UNO their VETO power taken away for misuse corruption destroying UN,War crimes Racism Human rights Abuses, Destroying Religions
Refusing to be occupied is most important. UKR will rebuild, with our help.
Push Russia back to the sea!
They are winning actually
Will Russia turn a new page? Will Putin be shoved from the stage? Will some of his crew Rise up in a coup? And usher in a new age?
'... not losing the war is itself a form of victory for Ukraine.' ^ Profundity exemplified.^
Wholly negative compared to the overwhelmingly positive impression one gets from Ukrainians and their supporters in the West. Not worth reading.
What a timely boost for Russia.
But not winning is still not winning A reality simps have yet to come to terms with
Just losing longer.
Russia pays
Well,... Ukraine everywhere and every time in the news. Sometimes I ask my self just one question; But why do the Russians like to fight silently?
The Ukrainians have shown unbelievable bravery, but it's naive to think that any victories haven't been pyrrhic. Sadly, the whole world has abandoned them to face a bloodthirsty dictator by themselves and eventually, Russia will definitely win through overwhelming military might.
Ukraine will become the next Marshall Plan.
Ukraine 3days you all asking for Prayers Palestine 77 years. You All Been Silent 😡😡😡
lies
According to west media, Ukraine is winning. Which one is fake news?
Russian should pay a war tax, on Europe and NATO countries, every time they get in and out they should pay so they don't forget that Ukraine is at war because of his president, and all the money should be use to rebuild Ukraine StopPutin
An army?!?
Thanks to Zelenski
USA is in a worse shape than you think.
And I'm sure Russia is in better shape than we thought.
How do you know what I think ?
Is this article connected to the desire of the people. A element that is overlooked and underestimated. Power never supersedes Humanity....
We already know that; but they keep deceiving themselves in the media
No doubt!
Maybe they should have thought about it before becoming a muppet of America. Was it so unberable not to be part of NATO? Anyways the president, the servant of the nation earned modestly USD 100 million in 2021, not bad for being the poorest country in Europe uh?
Do not judge Ukraine by Western sensibilities of what's tolerable. Ukraine have clearly decided to fight or perish. There isn't much for Putin to win. He can pummel Ukraine into dust, but the people eventually will rise again. Ukraine will never be Russian.
Just curious, is there a particular marketing strategy at work when you post a paywalled article on Twitter? Or did you just not think it through?
the house where me at… exists Esta Esta REiD all a bit andis he once in while and has access in Moncton S Pion Age Equip because in room he yells FUK with no reason loudly like Joanna’s Varks did & drop bombin toilet. Gucci Guceci Goo; as tu MeTa call a la zoo. Meta & Google
It seems that on Earth the word 'peace' is becoming less and less popular.
Another navel gazing journalist - of course Ukraine is in a bad way - should it have surrendered?
Then the peace is so close by now.
El pueblo Ucraniano debe dejar de huir como si fuesen Delincuentes, Exigir en cambio que USA Y OTAN se retiren de Ucrania y Zelensky sea depuesto y juzgado por Genocidio
Don’t worry the USA will rebuild it and Baltimore City in shambles.
Aqui viene lo admirable y sorprendente! Porqué la Humanidad calla y no exige a la OTAN y USA el rendir cuentas por sus atrocidades? 😏 O alguien se cree el cuento de que USA está pagando miles de millones por pura filantropía en ésa guerra?
SaffronHorizon Resisting the Orcs for eighty days, and counting, i wish i were in such shape.
Ukraine is sustained by the strength of its own people, its spirit is at its peak, that will help it to rise again
Palestine is also in worse shape than you think
Can't be too bad, U2 had a concert there the other day.
The images of the newly destroyed tanks in the UkraineRussianWar are more like the images of the old destroyed tanks in the tank cemetery.
And you could probably do a similar piece on Russia. So the future depends on who has the most friends to pick you up when you are down!
yeah no kidding, their country is being destroyed thur war
There’s no such oblast as “Donbas Oblast”. And no, russian terrorist do not control the entire Donetsk Oblast. Check
Mainstream propaganda is skewing the true picture of the situation in Ukraine. I agree with the this time that Ukraine will continue to need a massive amount of help and military support as Russia is gradually making progress by small steps. Let's not let delusion win.
Nice heading, TIME! (not)
You don’t understand a concept as complicated as foreign affairs and war.
They certainly needs the West’s help.
That may worsen. But hey the spirit of winning remains as they say. The question is .... If so, what are they going to win?
I mean we see the daily pics of completely DESTROYED cities so what else are you talking about lol.
