What's the pass/fail state of the three day mission that's in its third year?

Well Im not posting for you obviously. Quite a few people comming to this thread are lurkers that cannot post anything even slightly deviating from the party line without the peanut gallery decending on them. You are the minority outside your bubble.

So you're some kind of hero who takes on the role of disagreeing with the mean majority who is also the minority, because everyone else who is simultaneously the suppressed minority but also the silent majority, don't dare to make a comment?
Did you not consider that perhaps these people who you talk about don't exist? There certainly have been some Russian sympathizers in here now and then, but they all concluded much earlier than you that they didn't have a reason to be here, and left.
There is no hidden mass of people just clamoring for your next comment, Zeo. It's just you. You are alone here. You are no punk standing up to the man. Your comments will make no difference. You do not need to be here

Nothing to do with what I asked.
What's the pass/fail state of the three day mission that's in its third year?
It's a one word answer.
Pass or fail.

So edgy. Still doesn't engage with my question regarding as to why you are still here. You have nothing to gain other than waste all of our time. Your own included

A Ukrainian citizen man suspected to be one of the coordinators of the undersea explosions in 2022 that damaged the Nord Stream gas pipelines between Russia and Germany has been arrested, German prosecutors said Thursday.
The suspect, identified only as Serhii K. in line with German privacy rules, was arrested overnight by officers from a police station in Misano Adriatrico, near the Italian city of Rimini, federal prosecutors said.
And not much more details than that. I'd imagine they want to move him to Germany eventually.
Watch how the German government will try reeaaaaally hard to not get this suspect in the hands of German prosecutors because they reeeeaaally don't want them to find out about what happened to NS2.

Oh for sure. There was a bunch of reporting in 2023-2024 on how a large number of German officials really wish this thing was just forgotten entirely.

Who's winning the war at the moment?

Every day where Ukraine holds is a day where they are winning.

Probably not the side who thought that full Ukrainian capitulation would take a few days, but who have only managed to partially occupy four oblasts several years later.

The military analysis I'm reading is that Russias advance is accelerating and if Ukraine/eu/us don't strike a deal soon, Russia will eventually overwhelm and might claim more than the four oblasts they planned to take

Russia didn't plan to take four oblasts.
They planned for full Ukrainian capitulation.

Except it was a small incursion that was surrounded and killed and nothing changed.
Russia and its varies troll farms are constantly feeding the narrative that Ukraine will lose any day now and we're still here at the same frozen conflict where the lines barely move 3 years later.

I think you're right. Russia wants to make sure Ukraine doesn't join NATO and is not officially anti Russian which it presumed Ukraine to be after the 20214 government overthrow. The only way to achieve it is by replacing the current government with Russia friendly/puppet government

Feels like they’re not helping their cause on the anti Russian front. If I wanted Ukraine to like me then I’d try to give them things other than missiles. But there’s no deal possible when Russia’s demand is conquest.
|
Yeah thats why it's do or die for Putin's Russia. Either win the war or surrender to the west/ break the country up into more pieces.
For Ukraine the deal is always possible. If Ukraine feels like they are about to collapse it's better to take whatever is offered currently than lose even more.
Although seems unlikely by zelensky
Looks to me that the war will continue and Russia will keep slowly inching forwards as it's currently doing.

No, Russia's goal is genocide. If you surrender to an opponent who's goal is your genocide you might as well slit your own throat, it would be less painful.
