It looks like the Ruskies are still taking territory and taking back the area of Kursk that was invaded by the Ukes. The Ruskies are also taking more territory at a rate greater than 2023.
From what I can see they are slowly taking territory east and south of Pokrovsk and expect them to take the city in 2025.
I understand the realism.
But expecting Russia to take that city by the end of 2025?!!
Do we hear ourselves opine now about what was supposed to be a 3 day cakewalk to Kyiv? How badly did Putin miscalculate the scope of this war?
