The taking of Mariupol, all of Luhansk and most of Donetsk have been successes. They've been hard fought, grinding successes, but successes nonetheless.

- ROTMetro 4y agoRussia controls less territory today than it did in March, yet I am told that Ukraine losing territory in July is losing, Russia losing more territory and not recovering it in March is not Russia losing. Funny goal posts seem to get used a lot in this conflict.
- qaq 4y agoThey don't control all of Luhansk and they don't control most of Donetsk oblast. I'd lay off from russian TV for a bit :) The goal was to take Kyiv in 3 days and install puppet government they have not accomplished that and have not taken a single major city in Ukraine despite Kharkiv being 40km from the border. So no for self proclaimed worlds 2nd army they have not accomplished a single strategic goal let alone the goal of the campaign.
- kieselguhr_kid 4y agoThey haven't taken a single major city in Ukraine except Kherson and Mariupol, two major Ukrainian cities. JFC.
