A quote
I read a quote written in Russian.
Here it is: ? ????? ??????? - ?? ??????, ??????? - ? ??? ?? ???????????.
Could you help me to translate it into English. It goes something like: ''What comes to war it is not about winning it but staying away from it.''
"In a war/battle is not the victory that matters, what does matter is staying away from it." (''what does matter is not to participate in it.")

A few, but not very many, of the teachers here know Russian well enough to give you a natural translation. Google translate works well enough to get a start of the translation though. It just needs a bit of crafting.
In matters of war, what is more important than a victory is avoiding it in the first place.
