      Da fuck are you taking about? The “win” for Ukraine the public expected was “Survive and defend Kiev”. The fact that they rolled back around half the gains Russia made since 2022 is amazing. Even a stalemate is far better that anything Russia or many on the west expected.

      Nearly everyone was terrified that Kiev would be taken right at the beginning. I don’t know of anyone who said not one inch. They’ve said since that they won’t concede the taken land and will fight for it. You’re so full of shit.
