Russia is intensifying its efforts to seize Chasiv Yar, a crucial stronghold in eastern Ukraine, as exhausted and under-equipped Ukrainian brigades struggle to hold the line while waiting for US military aid.
-snip-
Chasiv Yar is seen as a key prize for Moscow, with senior Ukrainian commanders claiming the Russian general staff has ordered its forces to seize it by May 9 when Russia celebrates the end of the second world war.

It took the Russian military nearly a year to advance six kilometres from the ravaged city of Bakhmut to the edge of Chasiv Yar.

“It took the Russian military nearly a year to advance six kilometres from the ravaged city of Bakhmut to the edge of Chasiv Yar.”
So why does the EU and the U.S. consider Ruzzia a threat?
Months of relentless Russian artillery pounding have devastated a strategic city in eastern Ukraine, new drone footage obtained by The Associated Press shows, with barely a building left intact, homes and municipal offices charred and a town that once had a population of 12,000 now all but deserted.
The footage shows Chasiv Yar — set amid green fields and woodland — pounded into an apocalyptic vista. The destruction is reminiscent of the cities of Bakhmut and Avdiivka, which Ukraine yielded after months of bombardment and huge losses for both sides.
Meanwhile, we give more big speeches about Ukraine being in NATO, (((some day))). Write articles about Ukraine being in the EU, (((some day))). Yeah, as I said before, maybe in the year 2525: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izQB2-Kmiic
***Russia has created a scenario where the longer Ukraine fights, the more they lose.***
Russia is playing it to where Ukraine (us) will settle this eventually, and when they (we) do, Russia will have the upper hand. All they need to do is keep the pressure on, take one small town after another, creeping forward where ever they see an opportunity along a 1,500 km front (a lot of frontage).
Russia's goal was NEVER to take all of Ukraine. That would be a nightmare they do not want. In fact, it was done before and was a nightmare then. Their goal was always to take the Eastern ethnic Russian areas of Ukraine and that they mostly did (military objective, ~85% complete). Russia's goal was to block Ukraine from entering NATO, and that they did (political objective, 100% complete).

Marcus loves his propaganda.
Advancing a palty 1,000 meters every 2 months is not something to brag about. Putin the stronk genius blew up his most effective general Prigozhin.
Conversely, Avdiivka was labeled as an impenetrable fortress.
Further, you go on and on about how Russia is only able to be stopped by American taxpayer money in the same breath as saying that they are incompetent.
Which is it?
It took the Russian military nearly a year to advance six kilometres from the ravaged city of Bakhmut to the edge of Chasiv Yar.
Chasiv Yar has barely a building intact.

Don’t worry, they’ll play Chasiv Yar up as being a fortress, then once it falls it will suddenly be said to be unimportant.
It was about zapping Ukie bugs, not about "territory".
Sergei Shoigu told everyone about that.
Now, the bugs are zapped.
What new Ukie army doink?
Good news, everyone! No Azov guy assault brigades have mutinied since yesterday!
On the flip side, the day is not over on the Eastern Front.
Azov POW guys!
Belgorod ground in 20 seconds!
Bring your parade parachutes!
