“The attack comes as Russia’s gains are in Ukraine are slowly grinding to a halt.”?!
...two writers and no proofreading?
Their best writers are unavailable, busy fighting on the frontlines
During WW-II, sides would gain or lose hundreds of square kilometers in a day. Now this is what Russia gets in a month. Russia is trading lives for land while Ukraine is preserving the lives of its forces by giving up land and making Russia pay for it. Russia has lost so many armored vehicles they are sending Ladas and UAZ vans to the front.
After three years of not defeating Ukraine, it should be clear this is not the Russian army of WW-II or the Cold War anymore.
Pathetic, no?
