For most of 2024, Ukraine has been losing ground. This week, the town of Selidove in the western Donetsk region is being surrounded and, like Vuhledar earlier this month, is likely to fall in the next week or so – the only variable being how many Ukrainians will be lost in the process. Over the winter, the terrible prospect of a major battle to hold the strategically significant industrial town of Pokrovsk beckons.

The Russians lost a whole shitload of ground in WW2, got pushed all the way back to Moscow. Same vs Napoleon's Grand Armee. Still won the wars.

More reason to give assistance to ukraine. Regardless of soviet propaganda, they did not do it alone.
