The media won’t give me great answers to this question and I think this I trust this community more, thus I want to know from you. Also, I have heard reports that Russia was winning the war, if that’s true, did the west miscalculate the situation by allowing diplomacy to take a backseat and allowing Ukraine to a large plethora of military resources?

PS: I realize there are many casualties on both sides and I am not trying to downplay the suffering, but I am curious as to how it is going for Ukraine. Right now I am hearing ever louder calls of Russia winning, those have existed forever, but they seem to have grown louder now, so I was wondering what you thought about it. Also, I am somewhat concerned of allowing a dictatorship to just erase at it’s convenience a free and democratic country.

      Interesting. I know they’ve historically been close to Russia, I didn’t realise they still had so much support.

      India is absolutely leaning (hard) towards Russia. They probably never bought gas/oil and fertiliser so cheap.

      You need to be aware that India and Indian sources are a lot more charitable to the Russian narrative, simply for economic reasons. India is getting a SWEET deal on Russian oil and arms sales these days, much to the frustration and ire of a lot of the rest of the world. India is one of the major reasons why the economic sanctions against Russia aren’t working quite as well as they could be.
