NAAWAN, Misamis Oriental (MindaNews / 28 February) – After two years of bitter fighting, the Russo-Ukraine war turns to a stalemate, that is, no one is winning. But in such condition, the great expense and damage in terms of manpower and war material are incurred, as usual, by the invading forces. If the effects of Western sanctions and embargo are added to the equation, Russia would come out at the losing end.[]
The cost is a nightmare.
There is no light at the end of the dark tunnel the Russians are in. To stop the war so as not to aggravate their losses is not an option because it bruises the humungous ego of Putin – it means raising the white flag.[]
