I am sure a lot of tears are being shed by the pro Putin crowd, definitely not tears of joy!

Yes, another complete humiliation of Putin. 895 days into his 3 day war to conquer Ukraine and he's just lost 35km2. The "master strategist" he supposedly is.

Yeah hard to say at this point if the incursion is temporary like the others. It seems much larger in scale and would require a massive effort from Russia, at the expense of there other directions, to remove Ukraine from here. Time will tell. Until then, slavi Ukraini!
