Who is winning in Ukraine?

Here are two views that suggest that this conflict is, to a degree, similar to the Russia/Finland war (aka The Winter War) of 1939. The war ended more or less on Stalin's terms, but it you read the Wikipedia account of the conflict, note the very serious losses suffered by the USSR.

Neither side.



Russia is winning the war but they've shot their economy in the foot and civil unrest in Russia is rising. Who knows what the future holds for Russia's economy.


Ukraine hasn't quite lost yet, and many of their citizens were able to flee, but their cities are being reduced to rubble, and who knows what

Stalin Putin has planned for the survivors once they occupy the country.

Seems pretty clear that Russia is losing both the propaganda war (the Naziism by Putin) and the war on the ground, suffering more losses already than during the entire Soviet-Afghan conflict. Putin's proven to be a terrible military strategist, and unfortunately his own citizens will pay the price for that.

IMO, the Russian truck/miltary vehicle manufacturer. He will be busy and should make a lot of useless rubles.
