1/6 What an EPIC failure!

In the last 1000 days, russia—despite going all-in—has seized less than 1% of Ukraine’s territory.

War economy, mercenaries, north korean troops, over a million casualties. A full-scale invasion. A strategic disaster

2/6 russia started this war on its own terms. It was bigger, richer, and supposedly stronger.

Yet it failed to take even one of Ukraine’s 23 regional capitals or special-status cities. Not one.

Ukraine still holds every single one it controlled in February 2022

3/6 In March 2022, russia occupied ~30% of Ukraine.

Today? Less than 20%. What a failure!

4/6 Most people don’t know this.
They hear “stalemate” and think Ukraine should settle.

But why accept a bad deal when the invader is bleeding out?

Ukraine has no reason to compromise if russia doesn’t. russia is failing. Hard

5/6 Putin is bluffing. He wants you to believe russia is strong.

But Deep State UA confirms: <1% territory gained in the last 1000 days.

That’s not strength. That’s a historic humiliation

6/6 Ukraine is fighting for survival—and winning.

Don’t let Putin gaslight you. Don’t fall for the “peace deal” trap.

The facts are clear:
russia is losing.
Ukraine has the upper hand.
Victory is possible
