In its daily estimate of the war, the British Ministry of Defense assessed that the Russian military is repositioning its forces in an attempt to encircle and destroy the Ukrainian forces that are facing Donbas and Luhansk.

I agree. As long as the West can supply anti-tank and manpads by the thousands, Russian forces are dead meat.

The Russians aren’t retreating from Kiev.

“What about Kherson offensive..”

You mean the illegal Russian attack on a civilian target? That offensive?

Nope, the Ukrainian claims that they have recaptured the city. For three days and counting.

1,250 ballistic and cruise missiles, and have lost how many tanks, cannons, soldiers etc. Man O Man this is costing Russia some real money.
And for what?
Not to mention that most of the world is condemning them and removing businesses.

Salvage? The Russians are going to get everything they want. They are winning. And, sooner or later, regardless of the spin, it will be obvious that those claiming otherwise were lying and spewing Baghdad Bob-level propaganda.

The Russian military high command operates in similar fashion.

In Stalin’s day officers were told “If you take the objective we give you a medal. If you don’t we shoot you’’.

Vlad seems to be carrying on the tradition.
