The Russian commander of the “Vostok” Battalion fighting in southern Ukraine said on Thursday that Ukraine will not be defeated and suggested that Russia freeze the war along current frontlines.

Alexander Khodakovsky made the candid concession yesterday on his Telegram channel after Russian forces, including his own troops, were devastatingly defeated by Ukrainian marines earlier this week at Urozhaine in the Zaporizhzhia-Donetsk regional border area.

“Can we bring down Ukraine militarily? Now and in the near future, no,” Khodakovsky, a former official of the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic, said yesterday.

“When I talk to myself about our destiny in this war, I mean that we will not crawl forward, like the [Ukrainians], turning everything into [destroyed] Bakhmuts in our path. And, I do not foresee the easy occupation of cities,” he said.

Khodakovsky is already in his home country, which he has been defending from Azov since 2014.

Except that Donetsk is not a legally recognized country. And Khodakovsky is a militant who has been responsible for destabilizing and destroying his own country by starting a civil war.

Well, neither is Taiwan, but that doesn't stop people like you from constantly whining about it.

Ah yes, this happened first and then Russia backed separatists (let’s be fair Russian troops were directly involved) declared independence!

They didn’t rise up because a regime undertook war crimes. They did rise up and in response Ukraine committed warcrimes.

The regime was very much committing crimes against the ethnic Russian population before they rose up. People don't just rise and go to fight to the death for fun.

Maybe the Ukrainians should negotiate and recognize the Donbas as no longer their territory somce the people living there have have democratically expressed that they want to leave. Then this can be over. Of course they could only negotiate if the US/NATO allows it, which is why this war keeps going on

That's not how it works, there's lots of seperatist regions the world over that don't get to just take their part of the country and leave.
