Russia claims gains in Donetsk as maps show conflicting realities

since the war started, has Ukraine ever acknowledged losing territory? it&#39;s been the same story:<br>deny losing a city and all of a sudden the media is denying reports of russian gains in the next city. If a blind person only followed western media, they&#39;d genuinely believe Russia hasn&#39;t occupied parts of Ukraine. <br>lying about it is the only way money keeps flowing, if Europeans were told billions of their taxes are going to a LOSING battle, the EU wouldn&#39;t be able to justify why they keep sending money to corrupt leaders sacrificing their men. We are all responsible for the death toll, funding the kidnapping of men being sent to their deaths because we pretend they stand a chance. There&#39;s only 2 REALISTIC outcomes:<br><br>1. accept a deal and lose land. Or,<br>2. refuse a deal and lose Land, soldiers, weapons, money and civilian casualties <br><br>no matter how much we hope, pray or support Ukraine, that reality will never change, just seems like people only care about Putin being humiliated the long this war goes on rather than the human cost on both sides. Sometimes it&#39;s better to throw in the towel to live to fight another day, Territory can be regained diplomatically, lost lives can&#39;t.The world has been reduced to celebrating watching Russian or Ukrainian soldiers getting blown to bits like any of them have a CHOICE
