Zelensky, in his nightly video message on Thursday, responded with defiance, saying that the two-month operation to retake Snake Island was a warning to all Russian forces.

It is amazing how well the Ukrainians have been able to hold out against the Russians, but the war will be decided on the Western Front.
If the Republicans are able to win, or seize, control of the US government US support for Ukraine will end.
