      I hope Ukraine stay independent and win this battle, but sadly that is not the reality.

      The west is not helping it as they should.

      For most of 2024, Ukraine has been losing ground.

Over the winter, the terrible prospect of a major battle to hold the strategically significant industrial town of Pokrovsk beckons.
