As the war in Ukraine approaches its third month, there are a few conclusions worth noting.

First, the Russian military has revealed itself to be a bumbling mess. A military that is devoid of skilled commanders at the top and motivated soldiers at the bottom.

Third, Ukraine is proving to be a far more ferocious defender than many analysts predicted.
