The mood here in Ukraine hasn't changed much other than now we get to them harder and deeper (with or without the US). Zelensky's speech for Independence Day pretty much reflects the mood of most of the country. This thing is far from over but we are going to be hitting back harder and faster. Many outside the borders keep putting faith in a Black Swan event but those of us on the ground don't give it much weight. We don't hope, we just do what we have to to keep the Ukrainian military strong and rolling. And we civilians go on with our lives keeping the economy alive and moving forward. Mud season is not far away which means whatever we or they take and can hold will then be fortified and the cycle will start again.
