Well, that's the point. The ground is hard and dry during that period, absolutely perfect for mechanized actions. That's how it's always been there.
And yet, the Russians lost ground rather than gained during the prime campaign season. Makes absolutely zero sense if they actually had all this reserve combat power.
The gaslighting fairy tales from the Kremlin cheerleaders never end. They will never admit to losing this war.
It’s quite obvious to me that Putin is being managed now by the EU and Biden’s handlers. Key military aid to Ukraine like tanks are being limited by NATO and Putin is being allowed to keep the land bridge to Crimea. Macron said as much out loud a few months ago. The White House leaks such ideas, too. Ukraine will get a shower of military aid if Russia threatens Kyiv or Odesa again. So this whole “collapse of Ukraine” thing is not happening. Ever.
I understand. You really can’t trust the propaganda from the MSM anyway.
