    You have a great many confused feelings.

    Ukraine has won the initial conflict Russia set out for, almost exactly two years ago.

    They are still winning the extended conflict Russia is perpetuating.

    It depends on how you understand winning. I define it in this instance by every indication of the strength and prosperity of a military and its country and the effects of the conflict on that military and country.

    In the scenario, Ukraine comes out vastly ahead in every significant metric.

    Russia is ruined for decades in most significant metrics and hasv already been definitively proven to be a lesser power.

    You judge winning according to…believies?
