Russian elites are increasingly frustrated over Putin's handling of the Ukraine war, as the conflict drags on into its third year.
-snip-
Putin's army has leveraged its superiority in manpower and weapons to regain the battlefield initiative over the course of the last twelve months.
Last year, the Kremlin's forces seized around 1,609 square miles of territory, primarily in the Donbas region.
However, this represents just 0.69 percent of the country, and the gains have come at a horrific cost in human lives.

Landrew in Star Trek.
At this rate of Russian military advance, it’s going to take Putin 145 years to conquer the rest of Ukraine.
A shift just as Trump is coming in?
I’m so looking forward to hearing about Putin ending up with three or four 9mm slugs in his chest.
Mighty Putin army conquers 4 square miles per day! Russia stronk! Lol!
He’s going to fall out of a window. Oligarchs are tired of Putin’s nonsense.
So looking forward to Starmer marching British troops into battle, paid for by Britain.
So looking forward to Macron marching French troops into battle, paid for by France.
So looking forward to Tusk marching Polish troops into battle, paid for by Poland.
So looking forward to the European Defence Agency (EDA) coordinating it all, and Secretary-General Rutte leading the charge.
Maybe in three days? A Charge of the Lite Brigade?
I hope this United States of mine stops throwing money into war and war and war.
😂😂😂
Bravo for keeping us in stitches 👏🤡
Do you think your Special Ukraine Sock and your Special Russia Sock will last 145 years?
Think about the grandchildren! [and NOT in the way your Biden thinks about the grandchildren...]
Putin lost. Hang your head in shame.
GTFO FR.
Trashbag fraud trash.
It is a thing of great beauty to watch you "channel" Biden, as one recalls:

I'll wait to learn the outcome of the Ukraine-Russia war when the war comes to its conclusion, as all wars do.
Until then, forecasting the future is the game of climate change-ologists and pandemic predictors. And so many Democrats.
Dear Express UK Tabloid:
It’s not the size but rather the value of what has so far been accomplished by Russia forces.

Five percent of Ukraine’s 2024 GDP (half or two of the four lithium mines) just came under new management in the Donbas.
Lest the Express UK not forget, Russia has destroyed the majority of the Ukrainian armed forces - now the map will start to change.
That is unlikely because, like Nixon with Vietnam, Trump is stuck with the Ukraine War and is likely to put the screws to Putin and Russia rather than have an Afghanistan style Ukrainian collapse and a refugee crisis blamed on him. In the end, Russian economic collapse may be the best way to end the Ukraine War.
Yep.
