my take on the Ukraine conflict is that Russia basically won in their initial offensive by taking out Ukraine's military and air bases. however, backed by the United States and NATO, Ukrainian government refused to surrender and instead went full guerilla warfare mode. not wanting to fight in a major war against a major power after basically being defeated, the Ukrainian citizens tried to flee but were rounded up by the Ukrainian government and forced to fight. fast forward to now, Ukrainian government is fixated on perpetuating a losing war because the flow of money they get from aid is making them all rich, and the soldiers dying in the losing war is the most blatant form of blood money in modern history.

how off am i?
The main interesting part the general said is :
Ukrainian troops are just surrendering en masse - they know the Russian soldiers treat them very well.
