Ukraine is losing the war with Russia.

"In eastern Ukraine, where another gruelling winter is descending -- along with it a likely freeze in major frontline movements -- one Ukrainian soldier had a grim assessment of the conflict.

The 35-year-old fighting near the war-battered town of Bakhmut went further than comments from Ukraine's most senior military official, who conceded this week that the war with Russia had reached a stalemate.

"I've been saying that for some time now already. Step by step we're losing the war," the serviceman, who uses the call sign "Mudryi" (Wise), told AFP.

"The longer this static war continues, the worse it is for us," he said in a phone interview."

Russia has more men, more weapons, and is the aggressor. I've said from the beginning Ukraine had little chance of winning this without direct NATO involvement.

Granted, we are hearing these things now that Israel has bumped Ukraine from the center stage; the Ukrainian kleptocracy, er, government wants us to ramp up aid so they have a golden parachute with which to land when it all falls apart. Right now what is happening is Zelensky and company need to keep things going until they manage to milk as much money as possible from gullible Westerners.
