How Putin Almost Won the War in Ukraine

Vladimir Putin was sure that Russia would win the war in Ukraine within days by capturing Kyiv. Then he was sure Russia would be victorious by laying siege to cities around the country. Now he appears to be sure that Russia can hold southern Ukraine long enough for conscripts, supplies, and reinforcements to reach his forces before a Ukrainian offensive can break his lines. At the beginning of the war, Putin was close to winning. With every day that passes, Putin is coming closer and closer to losing.

"339 days into my 3 day war, I am still master strategist" -Vladimir Putin

[CaptainMarvelsSon]

He did have one major success. He managed to (likely soon) bring neighbors into NATO, something which he said he would never allow Ukraine to do.

[damonrunyon]

His ability to unite NATO will be of note

[ITACHI]

This is a prime example of NEVER underestimate your opponent

He basically fumbled the easiest war to win geographically.

love the wide range of topics lately. we’re getting everything from the war in Ukraine all the way to things like, the conflict in Ukraine.

I remember, on about the third day of the Russian invasion, Gen. David Patraeus being asked by a reporter, 'how long did he think it would be before Kyiv fell.' He looked at the reporter and stated flatly, "Russia will never take Kyiv."

"You're only winning because I'm losing right now."
-Putin, probably.

You forgot to mention that stiff resistance in Sumy, Chernigiv and Kharkiv delayed russian troops and gave Kyiv a fighting chance. Espessialy, in Sumy there were`t any regular army, only National guard and local militia.

Putin is the best example of "dig two graves when you wage war".

Putin didn't need drugs to give him delusions of grandeur.

Imagine if the West had actually supported Ukraine in 2014 and not waited to the last minute in 2022

[carljohnson]

The tactics were part of his downfall not to mention poorly maintained equipment

That fact that Ukraine was able to defend their home and even went on the offensive is one for history ….SLAVA UCRAINI

[nicktechnubyte]

Looking forward to seeing Ukraine 🇺🇦 becoming a fully united country again free from all russian interference and russia being completely dissolved and turned into separate smaller countries with no military power whatsoever!

SLAVA UKRAINE 🇺🇦!!!!

[loboblanco]

Ukraine's amazing courage and resistance in the face of a "superior" invader makes me glad to support their effort. Fight well Ukraine and Godspeed to victory!

[offtheroad]

You dont win or lose a war that is still going on.

Even if one side is utterly destroyed, they can still win.
