Ukraine's successes against Russian oil installations have been widely reported. But less well known is that Ukrainian ground forces in Donbas have now encircled and isolated three pockets of Russian troops who seem to have been abandoned by Putin.

why is it that pointing out that russia can end the war at any time of russia's choosing such an enormous surprise to all people who would like to see ukraine at the negotiation table (“for the good of ukrainian people”, of course)?

a very good interview with snyder on ukraine and germany in der spiegel; don't mind the title, the article is in english.

DER SPIEGEL: Does Germany have a special historical responsibility to Ukraine?

Snyder: First of all, Germany has a current responsibility: It is simply the nearest major power. Even without any of the history, its interests and duties would be absolutely clear. But yes, of course: there is a triple historical responsibility. First, because Germany waged a colonial war from 1941 to 1945 to control Ukraine, something that many Germans are only just now realizing. Second, because Germany, in large part because Germans suppressed that colonial history, has tended not to take Ukraine seriously as a state and as a nation. In other words, an unexamined colonial history has reproduced itself as a domestic discourse in which only Russia is present and as a foreign policy in which Russia has priority. The third source of responsibility is more recent. The absurd German notion that you could have a purely economic relationship with Russia is one of the direct causes of this war. The fact that Nord Stream 2 was still being built despite Russia’s invasion of Crimea, and that it was being built around Ukraine, made the invasion more likely.
