“Russia has not made any major advances in the last year and a half.”
The Russians are simply trying to kill off Ukrainian warriors defending front lines as they have learned that Russian armed forces typically capture just rubble and peeved homeless locals.
The Russians think that if enough Ukrainian warriors are killed, Ukraine will want to make peace. Such Russian thinking may be defective as Zelensky and Pentagon generals are prepared to fight to the third last Ukrainian adult that can walk in a trench.
Absolute nonsense...reminds me of Gen. Kellogg.
