    They still have national sovereignty, a society, a culture, and representation in government. Damn right they are succeeding!

      They don’t. They’re overdue for elections. Their borders are blown. Their population is a diaspora when it isn’t being press ganged onto the front lines. Their territory is being auctioned off to the lowest bidder.

      Zelenskyy’s refused to stand for reelection in no small part because he knows how wildly unpopular he has become.

        You’re picking out negative things (and frankly making up others) but overlooking the most obvious and important positive. There’s no russian lapdog running the government of Ukraine and the people are still Ukrainian. The people of Ukraine kicked out the last Putin lap dog and they have no desire for another and their actions to-date are still in effect. If the people of Ukraine wanted to be russian, they could be in a a fraction of a second.

        They continue to choose NOT to be and have done so for more than 3 years now. That is proof positive of continued success.
