Who's winning the war in Ukraine? (lemmy.ml)

The media won't give me great answers to this question and I think this I trust this community more, thus I want to know from you. Also, I have heard reports that Russia was winning the war, if that's true, did the west miscalculate the situation by allowing diplomacy to take a backseat and allowing Ukraine to a large plethora of military resources?

PS: I realize there are many casualties on both sides and I am not trying to downplay the suffering, but I am curious as to how it is going for Ukraine. Right now I am hearing ever louder calls of Russia winning, those have existed forever, but they seem to have grown louder now, so I was wondering what you thought about it. Also, I am somewhat concerned of allowing a dictatorship to just erase at it's convenience a free and democratic country.

That time they tried to fully take over Ukraine. That's a pretty good indicator.

Since they're very obviously not trying to take over all of Ukraine, I'll take that as an admission that you're full of shit.

So you don't consider charging at a countries capital and dropping airborne troops into a capital trying to take over a country? That's a really weird take.

Reality isn't a paradox game, so no, I don't.
