@bungarsargon Russia is asking for Donbas territory that it has never controlled, not in 2014 or 2025.
Ungar-Sargon: When this war began, Crimea was part of Russia. Ukraine was not part of NATO and the donbas region—donetsk and luhansk were independent republics. There was a civil war there. They were not part of Ukraine.

The Kremlin is leaning into its cognitive warfare effort to portray Russian forces as relentlessly advancing and a Russian victory as inevitable. This effort aims to obscure the reality that Russian forces are only making minimal gains at disproportionately high manpower costs
NEW: US President Donald Trump’s October 17 meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reportedly ended with Trump supporting a ceasefire on the current frontlines and not Russian President Vladimir Putin’s demands that Ukraine cede territory in Donetsk Oblast to Russia.

Russia’s Kupiansk “success”? The math says failure: 27k Russian losses in 340 days for rubble, ~800 troops per km². At this pace, conquering Ukraine takes 3,800 to 16,900 years and 110 to 489M dead. Kremlin monthly recruits 30k, but loses 35k. 👉 No off-ramp for Putin.
