Russia Is Close to Achieving Its ‘Special Military Operation’ Goals in Ukraine, Claims Russian Intelligence Chief

Could this mean that even mighty Russia is tiring of the war? The commies are full of mind games, that's all that they do. Everything is propaganda. They may declare victory before giving up and pulling out just like how they did the same thing in afghanistan and declared a victory. Here's an article talking about how the russian narrative wasn't true:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/europe/the-soviet-army-was-driven-from-afghanistan-30-years-ago-putins-russia-is-repackaging-it-as-a-patriotic-victory/2019/02/13/3ff61302-1e6f-11e9-a759-2b8541bbbe20_story.html

New Kings and Generals video about the War in Ukraine:

In short, Russia continues to gain ground, while Ukraine is now more pleased about the rate at which equipment is sent to Ukraine.

Personally, I'm increasingly feeling like the current offensive is more comparable to the Kaiserschlacht in WW1 on a longer timeframe, where Germany tried to overwhelm France before US troops could arrive en masse to fortify the front and doom Germany. Russia is sending more and more men and material into the battle at an increasing rate to get Ukraine to falter, but while they're retreating, they do not falter, at least not yet. So yeah, if Ukraine makes it to summer, then Russia will start being depleted in both men (unless Putin mobilizes again, knowing that Russians will then hate him and that it will hinder his war effort and economy even further) and material and their strikes and advances become more and more blunted.
