And they're not going to give that territory up.
Ukraine is never going to recover that 20% that it's already lost.
The only question is how much more territory will the Russians conquer?
And they will conquer more territory.
So that's the ground war.
The air war is where things are getting dangerous.
And there, what's happening is that the Ukrainians are using more drones and more sophisticated drones
to attack deep into Russia.
They're hitting oil refineries and they're killing lots of Russian civilians.
The Russians are reaching the point where they're saying enough is enough.
They bombed Kyiv on Sunday night in ways that they have never bombed that city before.
They really turned the dogs loose, as I like to say, and they're threatening to do even more.
European countries to remove their diplomatic staffs from Kiev because they are obviously intending to hit targets that might include those diplomatic installations.
But the real worry is that the Russians will hit targets inside of Eastern Europe or even Western Europe.
There are voices inside of Russia that say it's time to take off the gloves and to go after targets in Europe because the Europeans are assisting the Ukrainians in these attacks on Mother Russia.
the argument, which is quite correct, is that there is no way that the Ukrainians could attack Russia, could attack deep into Russia with drones and missiles the way they're doing now without significant assistance from the West.
And if that is the case,
We, the Russians, have to attack into the West if they're going to be allowed to attack into Mother Russia.
So it looks like there is a serious possibility that at some point in the future, the Russians will attack NATO countries.
And that would be potentially disastrous.
