to show that Ukrainians are "winners," writes The Financial Times The Ukrainian authorities want to seize the initiative at the front for Trump's inauguration to show that Ukrainians are "winners," writes The Financial Times. The publication reports, citing Ukrainian Armed Forces officials and analysts, that the next few months "will be a crucial stage of the war, as Ukraine tries to stabilize its defenses and strengthen its position in the east in case Trump forces it to negotiate with Putin."
"Ukraine hopes to slow down Russia's offensive and seize the initiative by the time Trump takes office, as Ukrainian leaders believe that proving that they are "fighters" and "winners" will help convince the US president–elect to support them," writes FT.

Their last stunt (invasion of Kursk) cost them 30,000 troops. They appointed a general called the Butcher because he does not care how many Ukrainian soldiers under his command die. They are losing 2,000 men a day. If the invade tostate to the left of Kursk, they will lose lots of men as the Russians are expecting them.
