I served in the Australian Infantry from 2014-2021, With specialist qualifications in Heavy Weapons/Anti-Armour, Combat First Aid, With a tour to Afghanistan as a crew commander of a Armoured Mobility Vehicle.
Upon my Return I was unexpectedly diagnosed with a Incurable and Inoperable Brain tumour that is slowly killing me. I was also awarded the Queens Order of Australia Medal (OAM) hence the post nominals after my name. Then Being medically separated from the Army I flew to Ukraine in 2022 for 6.5months and now make content full time. I really appreciate you being here Thankyou

"This war is about money and Ukraine`s rare earths" Lynsey Grahams exact words in an interview with Fox news. Nothing to do with democracy and saving the free world.
Nothing is free in this world. It was always about the money and power.
It's true, and the purity of god's people, the Moscovians, has proved it so.
Defend democracy，What a noble word.
Democracy comes only where there are strategic resources.
and a perfect excuse to explain why our savings are gone and we are getting crushed by inflation
The US isn’t getting rare earth metals in areas of Ukraine now occupied by Russia. Russia isn’t giving up those regions.
You've got in a nutshell.
Unless of course they're rooting around in the undergrowth looking for those elusive n*z*s to disarm, just happening to find rare metals, fossil fuels, rich agricultural ground.
Any bio labs perchance?
There are a lot of resources in the Donbass region, not so much in western Ukraine.
Not in a million years. Russia paid in blood for that territory
They'll just buy them from Russia, at the end of the day- just like they buy uranium and Europe still buys their gas. Money is king.
Stop 🛑 listening to Winnie the Pooh Bear 😅
Imagine the very last fool dying for BlackRock and the American Empire.
Fooled into dying for Lyndsey Graham’s stock portfolio.
facts
@ Most people are gullible.
Short answer: No, this will not save Ukraine.
This is another propaganda narrative for the west to continue to bankroll the proxy war. Trouble is, Russia will dictate the outcome regardless of these deceptions.
Agree
I watched the interview with Ahkmat special forces commander for Kursk operations Apta Alaudinov, ( you should watch it ). Russia is in no hurry to push the Ukrainians out of Kursk they are contained and dying, Ukraine has 30,000 troops and resource tied up in area of no tactical importance. Russia has already wiped out 55,000 of their best troops and equipment and they are stuck there being droned to death every day.
Link???
@@lonerandy think patrick lancaster interviewed him, will be on his channel
Ukraine has deployed its most elite troops to Kursk, and now that Russia is advancing on Suja, it will be difficult for Ukrainian forces to withdraw from the battlefield on a large scale.
Putin also said the same thing
This makes sense. The Russian General Staff could've committed a huge force to push out the invaders quickly, but that would've led to heavy losses on both sides. This way, the Russian firepower pulverises the troops in the pocket while the Russian leadership rightly states it's been invaded and prompts patriotic Russians to sign-up to fight in larger numbers.
Why would Russia want to close the Kurst saliant...it's a gift that just keeps giving ?
exactly, makes no strategic sense.
Why? The Ukrainians are using resources they can't use defensively in Donetsk. They're better used in occupying Russia.
Sure, maybe they don't need to be pushed out yet, but make no mistake, the longer they're there, the more people will be looking askance at Putin.
It's an embarrassment.
Fancy not defending Russian borders.
Oops. Lol.
This is pure reputation gain at this point , as well rescuing up to 2 thousand civilian people (probably less now unfortunately) which they had.
Yup 👍

The capture of Volchansk occurred after Ukraine bombed a New Year's market in Belgorod.
Did they?
Shock. Horror.
When do you think Russia will retaliate by attacking Ukraine.
they really did that? do you have proof?
@cwpv2477 there was a bombing attributed by Russia to Ukraine which the Ukranians blame Russia in 2023.
Not entirely out of possibility as Russian bombs have landed on Russian cities here and there over time, some of which were leaked by Russian civilians, and bless their hearts.
It's a contested claim.
Even if true Russia regularly targets civilian sites whereas the same cannot be said of Ukraine.
Entirely consistent with the Russian bombing of cultural sites as well as other targets.
@@litlnote-wu6yv This question is not raised by a military man. Military aircraft are prohibited from flying over cities. At most, a bomb could have landed on some village.
@baykal6 @baykal6 it's no secret that bombs have come loose from Russian aircraft and landed on urban centres.
It's not common but it has been reported.
Btw, not being a military man an aircraft doesn't need to overfly the spot a bomb falls.
Silly Willy Is In Our Hearts And Prayers ❤
Most of the minerals mentioned are in oblasts already annexed by Russia, and if the war doesn't stop soon more oblasts might follow.
This is all insane to me. Ukraine is more focused on “strikes deep inside Russia” and figuring out how to structure a military properly while they lose ground every day that at this point looks like they are never going to get back.
Exactly. With the sub ammo Attacms, Ukraine had a weapon able to reproduce some of the effect of the russian anti infantry weapons. Their drone could target the rail roads and ammo depot in Ukraine for direct effect. They prefer to attack far from the front line.
They loose not only ground, but troops on massive scale. While retreating they destroy whatever they can because they understand they would never return.
Russia is able to attack to the full depth of Ukraine's territory prevailing in weapons and troops..
Willy looks now more like an acrobat avoiding to look down at the abyss Ukraine is spiraling now into..
Strange.
The story seems to be the same...
Despite the location.
Indeed, over space and time.
How does Ukraine, having been descending in a spiral every week for 3 years still do it.
I think that's remarkable.
I'm sure your story is absolutely right in every detail.
TBH, mate has too much shit to deal with in his life right now, aside from getting disillusioned in what he believed in his whole life.
@@litlnote-wu6yv The NATO states pay for all the needs of both the people of Ukraine and its army. Of course, it's your money and your business how your authorities spend it, but it's not worth writing that Ukraine ITSELF is holding on.
@@litlnote-wu6yvIt's barely holding thanks to our money and US money, stop coping.

They didnt change the name of the manouver because they try to be smart

How do you restructure the most corrupt country in Europe
Basically a secret fight between factions , the most vicious win , the looser is called "corrupt"

Nothing Will Save Ukraine!
Let's talk about what the USAID will affect Ukraine!? Let's talk about the Ukrainian war crimes in the civillians population in Kursk!? Did Willy spoked about the Ukrainian gas facility near Poltava? With satelite images and all? No ...
war crimes? you mean killing civilians with bombs? not sure Russia has the moral high ground on that one
@@millennium677 totally agree with you, crying about war crimes is meaningless
He has mentioned war crimes on both sides, it's not something for analysts to dwell on as it's something that's dealt with after the conflict..
It's not in the pre approved talking points
Did you mean nothing wil save Nazi Ukraine's regime? However Ukrainian people can be only saved by Russia.
The only reason the Kursk pocket has not been closed, is to help RU with military recruitment. It is also probably more cost effective to fight them there, in terms of logistics. If they kicked them out, they would have to fight the same people 1000 miles further south east..
*Zelensky's talk about **_'restructuring the armed forces-_* ---------- is akin the the Captain of the Titanic --------- *reorganizing the deck-chairs as the ship sinks*

Willy, using brigades for this type of war is stupid. Brigades worked in colonial-type wars or post-2000s insurgency type wars. Russia switched back to divisions, USA is switching back to divisions. You don't fight a war like this with brigades. It is one reason Ukraine can never conduct a real offensive, is that their organization is stuck in brigades.
Brigades are not 'their own little armies', that is literally what a corps is.
at first there was the battalions tactical groups who turned up to be plain wrong
brigades are "hello madam goodbye madam " fine for hit and run operations , but struggling for sustained contact fight
can't help thinking there was some public relation glitter about them
this lead to the pilfering of any constituent units in the new 150 serie brigades , making a bad situation into a worst one
divisions are much more structured with their own logistic , staff , repair and pioneer units
the US used combat command for operation , made of units taken from mother divisions ,
then after some days , the units would go back to their division for refilling resupply and getting the mail from home
They are grasping at straws. "We can totally win this if we restructure!".
@@ImperativeGames Yes. They just don't want to face incompetence, corruption and general lack of motivation.
@sparkyfromel The problem with the battalion tactical groups used by Russia is they're equipped similar to a western brigade but with too few infantry 800 or 900 men with artillery units, tanks anti aircraft units that's why their equipment losses early on were horrendous with lots of equipment simply abandoned.
@@ailinofaolin8897 yes , I've read the same too heavy
Good luck my friend, take care of yourself and rest up well buddy

thanks!
Nothing will save Ukraine, Istambul is long gone
Get better Willy, your reporting is becoming more important for me than my morning coffee. Thanks for all hard work.
The “restructuring” of Ukraine’s army seems to me to be more about getting more reliable troop accountability. There are “ghost battalions” that are largely on paper only. This has been accepted as a form of compensation for the officers, who allow a certain amount of the cash to trickle-down to his key troops.
This reorganization will only cause a temporary slow in the corruption
Geez Willy, you're being attrited by your treatment yet still have it in you to deliver top level informative stuff like this. Thank you bro!
Every morning waiting for your reporting Willy. Thanks for your work and get better bro!
The difference between the Russian success in Kharkiv and the complete failure of Ukraine in Kursk is, that Russia only aimed on crossing the border and holding a small territory to divert Ukrianian troops, while Ukraine pushed way further, to reach the nuclear power plant to trade it. Ukraine didn't came even close to their target and should have pulled back their troops long ago, just to use the offensive for marketing and moral purposes, without losing more important assets. But they didn't and instead played directly into Russias hand, by createting an even more effective diversion of troops and assets than in Kharkiv.
No amount of justifications will distract from the epic failure the Kursk offensive is and Willy is plain wrong about long range strikes being related to it as well (the one started in Aug, the other was approved after Biden lost the elections in Nov). It only helped Russia to speed up the capture of Ukrainian territory and the stats of KM² since Aug prove that. Without Kursk, it would have taken Russia another year, to take as much territory or destroy as many assets as they did in the last 5 months.
And lets not forget the destruction of Ukraines energy infrastructure as a direct result of the Kursk offensive, instead of the no attack agreement that was planned. This offensive left Ukraine losing on all sides.
Straight from Ukraine central command.
Excellent report.
I think, UA actually just wanted the pumping station feeding the pipelines for the west. But now, that there is no flow anyway, that goal disappeared. They are just staying there because they legit have no idea how to get out without RU steam rolling over them. You need troops to secure an orderly retreat. They don't have that troops. And every time they stop and try to dig in, there's heavy explosive rain. So they also need to constantly move.
It's hell.
@Oktokolo If that would had been the case, they wouldn't had stretched their own logistics into such a large area and focused on Sudzha alone which would had been smarter, but they didn't. Pumping that many high value assets into Russia, without the ability to hold that much area only weakened themselves.
@Oktokolo they didn't need to go to Kursk to turn off the line!
Helloooooooooo.
Nope. All I hear is an echo.
@@DonJupp321 I was being sarcastic. S/

Managers begin to arrange the furniture, measure its position of each chair and table on a ruler, compass, theodolite ... Grandma can't stand it and asks: “Guys, what are you doing?” One of the managers explains: “Yes, grandma, we've had a drop in turnover lately, but we're going to arrange the furniture according to feng shui - and everything will be great”.

Best procedure for Ukraine is to immediately get into making a negotiated peace where Ukraine gets to exist as a Neutral State that has a modicum amount of ability to save itself from certain doom.
The funny thing is, they can't negotiate, by law. They have the goal to enter NATO written into Constitution, the law banning any possible deals or negotiations, and a president past expiration date. They have thoroughly cornered themselves.

Willy you are gonna smash it mate, absolute machine. Big love mate 💙
The Kursk offensive was initially successful because it caught the Russians by surprise. That was because they attacked a totally useless piece of terrain with all their best assets. It was a surprise to everyone because it was such a ridiculous thing to do. I see no scenario in which this was a good idea. The initial success has had the negative result for Ukraine in that they now can't withdraw without losing face, which holds their best troops in place while the east front is forced back.
Thank you for your constant work. Take care!

On Kursk: I don't think the Russians are pushing too hard in Kursk. Unless they can fully encircle the pocket, the Russians would rather keep all those units bogged down in Kursk, than have them retreating to and defending Ukraine proper. Kursk was a ridiculously stupid plan. For some reason the UAF thought it would be a great idea to take forces from an over-stretched thousand kilometer front to open a second thousand kilometer front in a completely pointless place.
The only reason you would ever intentionally extend the length of the front line to be contested is when you know you have enough forces to cover that extended line but the enemy doesn't. So basically, the Russian Army could not have screwed the Ukrainians over any worse than they screwed themselves over. The Ukrainian "leadership" essentially made it impossible to defend what is left of Ukraine.
Let me put it this way - if the "300" had not chosen to stand and fight in a natural chokepoint that limited the breadth of front line they had to cover, the Persians would have steamrollered over them so fast we'd never even know the "300" existed. In this war, the only side with enough forces to extend the length of front line without reducing their force concentration elsewhere, sat back and watched the UAF make a fatal mistake. As they say "never interrupt the enemy when he is making a mistake."
On Trump in the White House: Trump just started an extremely stupid trade war with one of the US' closest allies, and tanked the US economy by starting mass deportations of the people that actually do most of the basic labour. The way things are going, the US will be too busy fighting a civil war with itself to worry about Ukraine.
Trump is a narcissist. Ukraine is a lost war and nothing will change that. Trump does not want to take even ONE second of responsibility for the Ukraine fiasco. He's desperately trying to figure out how to make running away look tough. Once Trump finds a way to put all the blame on Biden and make running away seem like the best idea, he'll kick Ukraine to the curb quicker than his one-minute-stand with Stormy Daniels.
If you thought Biden pulled out of Afghanistan too quickly, you'll be shocked how quickly Trump dumps Ukraine. Overnight Ukraine will drop from the front page and become just the filler story before the sports segment. Ukraine? What about it? Did you hear Trump just blah, blah, blah... The messaging will change instantly. It will be "We've always been at war with Eastasia" as Orwell put it.
I am willing to bet that by the end of 2025, Ukraine will be "memory-holed" the same way Afghanistan and Iraq have been, and the same way Syria had been until the West needed a distraction from their disastrous failure in Ukraine. By the end of 2026 most of the Western public will have forgotten Ukraine ever existed. Hell, does anyone even talk about Georgia any more? Did you even think about it before I mentioned it? What about Libya? Do Westerners even know that they utterly destroyed that nation "to save it" and then walked away?
That's only the nations the West has "liberated" since 2000! In the last 25 years, the West has created or directly waged wars in nations with a combined population of 125 million people! 125 million people's lives turned upside-down, their nation crippled or completely collapsed, and tens of thousands - even millions - of friends, family and countrymen killed or maimed, all for the enrichment of the Western oligarchs.
Tell me Hans, are we the baddies?
There is a long history of the US simply walking away from the disastrous wars it started. Once it has got everything it is going to get from waging war on a nation (or tricking that nation into waging war against the US' enemies), the US simply packs up and goes home. If their victims aren't lucky, the US will leave enough hardware behind to fuel the resulting civil war for a generation or two.
The West likes to talk about how "evil" annexation is - Putin annexed Crimea! But consider this - when one nation annexes another nation, the conqueror takes on the national debt of the conquered AND the citizens of the conquered nation become citizens of the conquering nation - with all the same rights and privileges.
Of course the US will never annex another nation - the last thing they want is to give their victims the same rights and privileges as every other American citizen! Can you imagine the lawsuits in the US as the victims of US aggression begin suing their new government for compensation? Nor do they want to pay off another nation's debt. Hell, they don't even like paying off their own debt.
No, it will never happen. What the US does is what I am calling "Soft Annexation". That is where they wage the same kind of offensive war to capture and subjugate a nation, but then do not actually give those poor people citizenship. Instead they install a puppet government that does exactly what the US tells it to do, without the benefit of becoming a part of US territory. And if the people start getting uppity, well that puppet will quickly become every bit the "evil dictator" the US accuses Putin of being.
If you doubt this, ask the Iraqi people how Saddam Hussein came to power and who kept him propped up as he murdered hundreds of thousands or even millions of Iraqi people. Hint: It wasn't Russia.
Or consider Iraq in 2003... Does anyone think the US government ever even considered giving the Iraqi people the right to vote in US elections? Hell, the US government doesn't even like having Americans voting in their elections which is why they put so much effort into "voter suppression" schemes.
On Russian strategy: Why are you even asking the question "will Russia bypass..."? You've been in the military - only a dumbass would try to take a heavily defended town without first cutting off its supply lines, and only then if that town NEEDS to be taken rather than simply contained and left to die on its own. That has been Russian strategy since they last defeated Nazis in Ukraine. Why would they change a winning formula?
In fact, that was the exact strategy the US used in Iraq... twice. Seriously, dude... that's such a dumb question I'm shocked anyone with a military background would even ask it.
Oh Jesus... I just saw the part where you said there are "definitely positives" in the utterly moronic Kursk incursion! You cannot be serious. The only "positive" that came from Kursk is a small propaganda "victory" in the Western media. Neither the Ukrainians nor the Russians ever doubted that it was a stupid - suicidal - plan.
The only thing the "propaganda victory" did is bolster Western support for continuing this disastrous war. So really, it was a major loss for everyone involved. I'm willing to bet it was their NATO "advisers" that told the UAF to invade Kursk, because the only "participant" to really benefit from it was the NATO Military Industrial Complex. They're the ones making hundreds of billions of dollars from this stupid war.
The MIC love watching their customers' arms and equipment being destroyed, because they can't hear the screams of agony over the sound of cash registers ringing.
The destruction of a single Patriot battery doesn't really have much effect on the overall war - but the MIC gets to ask for another billion dollars to replace it. ONE THOUSAND MILLION dollars for a single weapon system that will have no appreciable effect on the outcome of the war.
That's the only kind of "positive" to be found in Kursk.
❤ Youre a machine Matty!
Stay strong mate.
bless you sir
Puutin said : Gently they will wapping their tails 🤫🤫🤫 Everything will fall into place 🧐
Stay strong and healthy mate
I think that Russia will want to keep the Ukrainians in Kursk for as long as possible
Exactly because Russia doesn't rush taking territories, but destroying the troops.
Krush is exactly what Russia wanted to keep Ukraine there.
Now THAT'S cope.
Full on cope at that.
Putin forgot to defend Russia.
And there's no getting g away from that oopsie doopsie.
@@litlnote-wu6yv Nonsense. The Ukraine/Russia border is 1,000 KM+ long and even Russia can't defend all of it. This blunder by Ukraine/NATO may have shortened the war of attrition by months. When the surviving Ukrainians inevitably flee Kursk, will you still praise this PR incursion?
Take care brother good luck with the chemo your a real trooper keep your spirits up 🫡
Good man, keep doing what the drs tell ya!!
We did everything from squad level training all the way through to division level war games, In combat we did some Brigade level stuff but really very little almost all operations are tactically carried out at the battalion level or lower. I supposed that if you have massive battles like in Ukraine you might benefit from more Brigade level or Regiment level training, but honestly if they don't have the basics lightfighter skills, that takes months if not years to acquire I fail to see how it will change anything. Sure, you could get better support for these men, possibly, but I just can't think of too many times when they would actually use this concept in battle. Sure it would come in handy for a large offensive, but are large offensives smart even if you put together the support structure and can attack as a Division it would still be crushed due to lack of overall firepower. You can slice it up anyway you want, at it's basic level it's infantry supported by tanks, artillery and drones, either you have enough firepower to support the infantry or not, either the infantry is disciplined enough to stand and fight and smart enough to know when to retreat or they are not. If you aren't training your infantrymen for at least a year, you will not get the best out of them and if you don't have the firepower to support them it doesn't matter how you organize that firepower.
Thank you for all the work you do.
Best of luck with your chemo. 💪

Kursk showing Russians don't have the capacity to regain their lost territories ? You kidding ?!? They could, but choose to focus on the East. And I guess they are all too happy to see most Ukrainian top units and equipments concentrated in Kursk and not elsewhere !
Did he SNOWDEN expose unconstitutional behavior by HIS own government? IT'S NOT A YES OR NO QUESTION. WILLY WOULD YOU PUT AUSTRALIA FIRST
Wish you well on your treatment
Recover well brother Willy Wonka 🙏 and thank you for the update. 👍
“not one more square kilometer”
well yes, very accurate. not one more. the end is known and inescapable.
The end is unknown and unescapable?
Really? Doubt it.
@litlnote-wu6yv
seems like you misread and then misquoted
@Norrs-fd6zr misquoted what?
I don't care about a quote.
No reference was given.
Nothing came up in a search.
Frankly people quoting others here are generally misquoting all the time.
I mean constantly.

Ukraine rearranging their army is simply pissing into the wind.
Reforming your Divisions in the middle of a War tell us all exactly the state of the UA itself. Its on the verge of destruction! 2nd time in 15 years re Minske2
Long Live!
The Kursk pocket is a prime example of a mistake that Napoleon warned against interrupting. After the initial shock, Russia quickly adjusted, and what Zelensky planned as a trap for the Russians is now a box for the Ukrainians, one that Russia is more than happy to keep them in. Zelensky has said that they plan to stay in Kursk for the long term, Russia is perfectly happy to make that permanent, in a "corpse don't leave" kind of way.
It is interesting how many people understand that with the full supply of Ukraine from NATO warehouses, the words "war to the last Ukrainian" have a completely literal meaning. Perhaps this is what is meant by "destroy Ukraine." I doubt that Ukraine will be able to function if it loses most of its population. Especially without a war, when the EU and the US will stop financing all expenses of Ukraine.
Make sure you take care of yourself brother. All the best.
Stay well Willy
Keep fighting bro
That numerical advantage does not just come about.
Occupied?So Russians are occupied Russians on these territories?And Ukraina is fighting to liberate these Russians territories from Russians?Willy Willy fake is this Narrative from the very first beginning bro
Hope you are able to tolerate the chemo well this time.
Just questioning your words credibility ( maybe misinformation / propaganda ? ) during the introductions to Ukraine's map . It's all about the purple colored parts on your map . We all know what happened in Crimea , the Russian troops entered , than civic / plebiscite vote , people wanted to be part of Russia , so that's were we are now . But parts of Luhansk and Donetsk were NOT occupied by the (as you claimed ) Russian troops , but by Ukrainians with Russian ethnicity who were against the change of government through the Maidan coup d'etat ! That was the start of Ukraine civil war and the UNPROVOKED bombardments and killings of the citizen of Donetsk !
Good video that gets to the heart of the matter. At the end of the day its about the money, meaning the natural resources. "The handful of people" (so-called leaders) abduct people off of the streets and order hundreds of thousands to die for the economic interests of "the handful of people". Nobody in their right mind would fight for those people's economic interests. So its no wonder that the desertion rate is so high.... Peace and mutually beneficial trade is the right way. Time for the principals to make a deal and end this insanity once and for all.
Gday Willy
Hard rock lithium mines are closing down around the world due to the price to mine. The only mines making money are those with large salars, ie lakes, sometimes underground, with lots of minerals dissolved in it. This is either filtered or evaporated. These mines are in South America and China so would not worry about the lithium in Ukraine being a valuable resource.
next level copium....of couse the EU counted on using the lithium in Ukraine. China is not giving it away cheaply, the lithium in Afghanistan is not really accessible...the one in Congo might be gone soon (civil war, unrest). Hell, the EU is now trying to coerce Serbia to give them access to their lithium, located in a natural reserve area. Now you know why the "students" in Serbia started protesting exactly at this time. The EU is desperate. The US, not so but greedy.
Lithium is not strategically important, lol.
The cope and seethe is hilarious.
@ First of all where did I say its not strategically important? Making that bit up in your tiny brain. Secondly the US will get its lithium from the salars of Argentina and Chile plus its own country. I know all this as I invest in lithium miners. Do some research before replying to stop you looking stupid.
@ and where did I say that? Ukraine's lithium is off no importance as it can be sourced cheaper elsewhere.
Australia has lithium mines operating
Nothing will save Ukraine. Nothing.
..been saying that for 3 Years
Ukrainian commander-in-chief Syrsky announced a plan to reform the Armed Forces of Ukraine from brigades into a divisional structure. It means most of the brigade command staff will be moved to infantry. Orders will come from a divisional command responsible for a greater front.
Problem about excepting aid for future value will become the same problem the African nations have outside NGO and companies strip mining resources to pay back loans / interest because your so in debt you cant mine them yourself getting only scraps for corruption to maintain the system . Reforming the military in war transferring from a mostly manoeuvre system to defensive attrition with specialist groups means you need grunts because you will burn them during the change also you have to be realistic and honest with numbers .
A couple of things I wanted to say:
1. North Korean soldiers leaving the front lines: as you've shown, the amount soldiers is vastly overstated by the media. But, if they're indeed leaving, it may be for other reasons rather than big losses (e.g. perhaps it's part of the negotiations with the US?)
2. You haven't mentioned this in a couple of videos, but it's important to bring up: Poland "absorbing" part of Ukraine to bring it under the EU/NATO umbrella should not be seen as a "win" for Ukraine. Do you really think, if it happened, that they'd just leave this new region as autonomous? Do you really think they'd just let Elenky (misspelled on purpose cause of filters) remain as the leader of that region?
Do you know how many Polish politicians run under the promise of bringing back Lviv and other regions? Half the electorate in the country wants those regions to be Polish again, not an "autonomous region".
How is Ukraine disappearing as a country by being absorbed by other countries a "win" for Ukraine?
Maybe it'd be a bit of a "loss" for Russia, but it absolutely would not be a win for Ukraine...
