Ummmmm.....I'm pretty sure that is the point @moorookamick has just made - it's a stalemate - tiny bits of ebb and flow
It is interesting though that you acknowledge that.....it shows that you can now understand and accept my telling you that this is a buffer zone as part of the SMO - no expansion, no toppling of governments.......it is to protect the people
The question then becomes......why are they continuing to force people to this buffer zone? The corrupts are supplying and coercing Ukraine into this - many are asking why
