Russian advancement on Ukrainian territory hasn’t occurred since the war started. The Russians don’t hold territory.

TheVoiceOfJoyce As we approach the New Year Russia continues to send in missile barrages. The Kamikaze drones were repelled 100%. Other areas, bordering Russia, near Kharkiv and Donetsk suffered damage to an industrial complex. The UK is sending bomb detectors and kits, the Czechs are sending suspension bridges, aid will continue to stream into Ukraine. Meanwhile, Belarus is deciding whether the missile, that landed on their territory, is a reason to enter the War on Russia’s behalf? The Ukrainians are prepared to defend themselves and have warned against Belarus’ possible aggression. They need more effective weapons to repel missiles and longer range missiles to deter Russian strikes. Peace by February 24?
