(rough notes) Momentum on Ukrainian side. In much better position than it was in 2023. Three years ago, Russia held 30% of Ukraine territory and it is now 19%. Russia went all in on this war, suffering casualties of anywhere from 500,000 to 1 million troops, and had to mobilize and release prisoners to fight to make up for some of the losses. They had to get North Korean troops in, too, as well as financial aid from NK. Other countries have had to come to their aid: Belarus and Iran. The Russian economy is suffering from inflation. Ukraine has stabilized the front and the east.

There is a link for a fundraiser. It is both in the beginning and at the end of the video.
