In 2019 Zelensky's chief advisor said there was a deal with the US, Ukraine would provoke Russia into invading, the US would impose crippling sanctions, Ukraine would defeat a crippled Russian army and once Russia is pushed back across the border, as a reward, Ukraine would instantly be admitted into NATO and so Russia would never trouble Ukraine again.

But the sanctions failed, Russia increased military production and became stronger not weaker.

Now Ukraine is forced to counterattack strong defences with a 5 to 1 disadvantage in men, a 7 to 1 disadvantage in air power and a 10 to 1 disadvantage in artillery.

It's going as well as anyone expected. After a dozen short battles over the last 2 days a pattern is emerging. Ukraine attacks, Russia pulls back a couple of km pounding the incoming tanks and APCs with air and artillery, the Russian ground forces then stop and turn and hit the Ukrainians from 3 sides forcing them to retreat.

The US knew this was going to happen hence the prepping of the US public for defeat for the last month. Just yesterday the NYT revealed that 'shock' many Ukrainian troops wear Nazi symbols on their uniforms.
