Zelenskyy states Russia lost battlefield initiative in Dec 2025, arguing Ukraine has a diplomacy window before winter if sanctions pressure on Russia continues.
People know what’s the deal. Especially people here. Things have changed, that’s not news, you can read that in European newspapers and you can read it between the lines in Russian ones.
That may be, but he still right. The frontlines are proof. Russia has failed to capture significant amount of territory in 3 over years. All the changes have been comically minor relative to the manpower and resources used, and so far this year, Russia has actually been losing more territory than they captured.
I disagree with your conclusion as it applies here - but I appreciate the argument. (And upvoted, as it adds to the discussion). I think between these two nations one is the underdog and more in touch with people and reality.
That said, Zelinsky is absolutely a charismatic political leader and it’s healthy to critically analyze anything you hear from such sources. In this case, the statement is definitely a bit bravado nicely coupled with reassurance to their people. I do also believe it tracks with what’s publicly available on the warfront. Nonetheless, the interpretation is clearly biased (to make their own side look good).
Thank you for your thoughts. I also see you’re getting downvoted by the echo chamber. I appreciate it, at least.

This is the most thought you’ve ever put into a responce. Try harder next time.

It was a special operation at the beginning. It’s still going.
I think it’s safe to say the war isn’t going how Russia wants it to, or zelensky would have been replaced/killed by now
