Wednesday

I've seen so much "Ukraine is or Russia is losing in "reports" that the Russian population wouldn't even be in existence anymore, much less have an army still.

The last news item I read today said Russia was still making gains but very incrementally.

I'm taking all reports with a truck load of salt. We won't know what actually happened until the bullets stop flying.
