What BBN said about it

  1. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe New York Times reports Ukraine has clawed back land in the Donbas, thwarting a Russian push to encircle its so-called fortress belt cities.

  2. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo Ukraine is winning, Gloria? I'll put that on the board next to my other good news. It's a very short list.

  3. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorHank, I said stymied, not winning. Per the Times, Moscow still says its capture of the region is inevitable.

  4. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorMoscow has said inevitable for a long time. In my experience, inevitable is what a government calls a deadline it keeps missing.

  5. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorLike my quarterly plan to eat a vegetable. Inevitable, and yet the beans keep winning.
