Ukraine is winning — and it is changing
Ukraine is winning — and it is changing
We have shown the whole world how bravely we can fight. Now, we will show how we can reform and modernize.

I think Ukraine needs to win two wars in oder to be able to join the EU. One against Russia and one against corruption. They can't afford to loose either.
-
there are really this much corruption in ukraine or this is just ruzzia propaganda?

It would actually be an incredibly huge boon for the EU to get Ukraine as a member. It would benefit the EU in unique ways while the challenges Ukraine faces are hardly unique within the EU.
It would benefit both Germany's agenda of making the EU's center move a bit east, and France's desire to gain more geopolitical independence. Ukrainian gas would decrease reliance on US and Russian gas even in the short term as pipelines are by and large built already.
There's the catch though, I think the US' interest in a separate UA from the EU, with both depending on the US for either rebuilding or gas and other raw materials. While we are fighting the war against Russia, we will probably be fighting the peace against the US, and I hope Ukraine will prevail together with the EU.

fighting the peace against the US
What'd you mean by this? It left a lot to the imagination.
-
Believe it or not the EU and US are actually geopolitical rivals with rather different visions of how things should look in the future... that just happen to align closer with each other than with that of China or Russia.
Also, the US is fickle at best. Make a deal one president renege on it for no good reason the other and always emphasise domestic electoral politics over sane policy, domestic or foreign. E.g. how the fuck are a handful (in the grand scheme of things) exiles from the Batista regime able to keep the Cuba blockade going.

Winning by 1/4 of their country still being in enemy hands and every counterattack failing?
-
Russia has been conducting this war for over a year, and they’ve still only managed to capture “1/4” of the country. Keep in mind that Ukraine is a much smaller neighbor that’s right on their border. Russia’s ineptitude is pathetic.
“Every counterattack failing”? Thousands of Russian soldiers would disagree… if they weren’t too dead to talk.
-
Yep, and what more is that Russians had a year to dig in with anti-tank defenses, but once those are gone or penetrated, then Russian are very well and truly screwed. They're not well trained, they lacked resources, they are running on old technologies, and there are 3 or more warlords having contentions with each others. Soldiers that could have racked up experience in the fighting wouldn't be given the choice to fight another day, because of the barrier troop that would shoot them if they retreat.
I think once the defensive lines are gone, we'll see something similar to a Thunder Run by America during the battle of Iraq.

Funny to think one day supporters of 2nd best army of the world is so proud that they are not losing "yet" for a 3 days "operation" that lasted one and a half year.
