yeeees-yes-yes, beautiful! Yeah, let me see

• retaliation is a strategic gain | check!
• driving away the enemy without a fight is both suffering horrific losses and also ~~doesn't count~~ not a real victory | check-check!
• dooming the poorest of civilians to frost death without electricity while not affecting the situation on the battlefield is a real victory (oof, I thought you're communist!) | CHECK
• EU will freeze 😞 | Not check! | did you forget to practice your lines? I thought we've already gone through this all several times!

Also-also, can you name a situation where you would (hypothetically of course!) acknowledge ukrainian gains? I really would like to have it on the record to show it to you later
