Withdrawn entry

This entry was withdrawn from the Record on July 7, 2026. Reason: Withdrawn: the statement is an assessment of an ongoing war, not a checkable factual assertion. It stays here so existing links still work.

As previously published:

Russia is too big and tough to be defeated militarily by Ukraine.
