    There has been a switch since February to clearly favor Ukraine more and more.
    Ukraine has consistently stalled Russia for years on the front lines to cause them to waste enormous resources, by withdrawing slowly and keep their defenses strong against Russia. But without retaliating much.
    Now the retaliation is happening way behind front lines, using new capabilities Ukraine have used years to build up, while Russia has depleted their resources.

    We are many that foresaw this outcome shortly after the Russian invasion, based on the early Russian incompetence and the Ukrainian determination to defend themselves.

    Russia was able to continue for a long time because it’s a very big country, and because Putin had prepared Russia for years to be able to sustain a war and the sanctions that would follow.
