I also don’t know why they keep saying it’s going to be a stalemate, Russia is already taking kilometres on the north which is more than Ukraine managed to take during the whole two months now.
Once the offensive burns itself out, it’s almost certain that Russia will start a serious offensive of their own.
True, People in Ukraine get arested and worse for being against Zelensky.
100% But “hurr durr Ukraine is a democracy and Russia is a dictatorship” bullshit is spouted by liberals to defend Ukraine just arresting anyone against their dictator of Zelensky. (and liberals are upset and down vote when you mention that Ukraine is run by a fascistic dictator of Zelensky)
