From a Wall Street Journal story by Marcus Walker, Daniel Michaels, and Michael R. Gordon headlined “Russia’s War on Ukraine at 100 Days Has No End in Sight, Threatening Global Costs”:
After 100 days, Russia’s war on Ukraine is turning into a bloody slog with no end in sight, causing mounting devastation in Ukraine and prolonged costs world-wide.
The biggest conflict between European states since World War II has undergone swings of fortune that offer a reminder of war’s unpredictability. The failure of Russia’s early blitzkrieg fueled Ukrainian confidence that is ebbing as Russia concentrates its firepower on a narrower, grinding advance.
