BBC News: Reports " We've retaken 6,000 sq km from Russia, says Zelensky "
Lets Get Real:
Even in Russia the success of Ukraine Forces has been noted and the general opinion is that the Russian Defence Department has let Putin down. The Ukrainian Forces are fighting for their Country, the Russians are fighting for Putin's ego, that is not something you can explain at the Pearly gates if you get killed in Ukraine. The question is what will Putin do in reaction, he has gotten men from prison and those walking the street to fight for his WAR. At what point does Putin go nuclear, it can be argued that Putin if he wants to, could drop a low level nuclear bomb on the areas that the Ukrainian Forces have retaken, he might think if Russia cannot have them, then no one will, its always an option he has, would he do something like that, that is a open question. How would the West react should Putin go nuclear, that would change the game in the Ukraine, that would bring in NATO, the War in the Ukraine is not over yet.
