The numbers are starting to leak out. Putin's aggression against Ukraine is of course devastating to the country being invaded and its population, but the Russian forces are being slaughtered in the process. The Ukrainean army has more people, better support, and above all better motivation. Ill prepared Russian soldiers who are increasingly starting to question the utility in dying for a lost cause are up against well trained and well equipped locals with a relentless determination to defend their homeland.
The Russians have been stopped, they are cut off from their supply lines, and they may soon find themselves not only outnumbered, but surrounded. Russia appears to be losing. Who would have thought that? Definitely not Vladimir Putin.
