    They won't ever understand. When this is over and results in the continuance of a Ukrainian state (but neutral) they will be told that was because of sanctions and because the russians couldn't take it. It will be spun as a victory over an invader trying to take over the country and annex it.

    They will see it all as having been a great battle to a valiant success. The west will use it to reinforce perceptions of how great and united it is. Everything will be fake and plastic as fuck, liberals will know this deep down but play the game anyway. Yaaaaaaay democracy beats the authoritarian conquerors! Nazis? What nazis?

    Literally everything that contradicts the narrative is "russian propaganda" now. Nothing except the EXACT narrative provided is acceptable, everything else is dismissed as propaganda and disinformation. The imperialist fake narrative is the ONLY true "information", everything else is disinformation.

    Even Mussolini would blush at the invented world they're creating.

      The narrative will be like that of the Finnish Winter War against the Soviets. They very obviously lost but if you ask the average westerner who has heard of the war they'd say Finland won because there is a Finland today, and they might've heard of Finland's OG Ghost of Kyiv-style myth.

        I understand that their territory losses were significant, but USSR casualties were so massive that I feel like it's a bit of a wash rather than an "obvious loss".
