In any case as 40 billion worth of arms floods into Ukraine and the UA surrenders en masse I'm glad the news keeps telling me they are winning the war.
Minsk 1 was a failure with violations on both sides, Minsk 2 was never fully implemented and also a failure once Russian troops crossed the border.
As for NATO - have a read of this https://www.nato.int/nrc-website/media/59451/1997_nato_russia_founding_act.pdf
Surrendering of troops in Mariupol, a great move when viewed tactically as they will be exchanged for Russian prisoners and be back on the front lines in no time. Ukraine will have battle hardened veterans and the canon fodder will go back to expose the lies spread by the dictator.
This will be a war or attrition with the question being will Ukraine run out of soldiers before Russia runs out of weapons?.
There's 15,000 Ukrainian POWs at the moment.
They start mopping up soon there's going lot more.
Who knows but I'm seeing captured NATO gear on telegram everyday.
