We've been hearing that since the start of the war with no real advances whatsoever

Truth is Ukrainians fought bravely in defending the country (after being manipulated into helping the CIA provoke a war), but the best they were ever going to be able to do was hold off the Russians for a while until Russia mobilized enough to overpower them with their superior numbers and equipment. They should have followed through with the peace agreement a month into the war. NATO can't fight a ground war like we've seen in Ukraine. This is just Bay of Pigs but on a monumental scale and risking nuclear war too. Our Western leaders are completely delusional, they've lost rich with reality.
