    No way of knowing how far we are from ending the war.

    The latest update is that Russians and their private mercenaries “Wagner group” are fighting each other.

    It’s one of those “the enemy of my enemy” situations but we have no clue where this is going. Russian civil war? Weakening of Russian forces? Potential for Ukraine advance? It’s hard to know.

    The concern is that the longer the conflict draws the less support Ukraine will receive. Russia knows this. Ukraine knows this. Western politicians know this.

    Wars are always muddy and difficult to predict. Shit, everyone was certain Ukraine would fall in a week. And here we are well over a year into the war.

    Good luck Ukraine!

      It’s obviously a 4D Chess Mastermind move by Putin for his 3 days very special military operation.
