It was very clear from the earliest hours of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine that whenever this ended, it would end in a strategic failure for Russia

U.S. State Department Spokesperson Ned Price believes that Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine will definitely end in a strategic failure for Russia.

“That’s because the Ukrainians made very clear in the earliest hours of this conflict that the goals that President Putin sought to pursue — the fall of Ukraine, the fall of its government, the subjugation of its people, the erasure of its identity, the — essentially the subjugation of the country itself, would not be in the cards,” Price said.

He stressed that Ukrainians have demonstrated that they are in a position not only to withstand advancing Russian forces but to take back territory that has been wrested away from them, and that won’t change.
