Kellogg knows Putin’s goal was to subjugate Ukraine, with 80% free and Russians only able to advance at a glacial pace with huge losses, Putin has lost the war.

New Bloomberg data showing Russia's total territorial gains since January 2024 amount to 1.05% of Ukraine.

In this time, Russia lost over 700,000 troops.

At this pace, it would take russia 80 more years and the lives of 56 million troops to occupy all of Ukraine.

Almost 0 gains for the "summer offensive" and 200K+ casualties.

The Ukrainians believe the Russians are trying to mass 150K troops in Donetsk after hoarding a few months worth of armored vehicle production.

With Ukrainian drones operating 40Km behind the lines, missiles and an active sabotage network in Donetsk, sounds like an Ardennes offensive in the making.

Taking land is currently the second ranked priority to Russia at this point. The top two priorities will switch automatically when the first has been accomplished to Putin’s satisfaction.

“At this pace, it would take russia 80 more years and the lives of 56 million troops to occupy all of Ukraine. “

Disingenuous tripe.

Those who study war know that aggressor armies suffer terrible casualties...up until the opposing army is broken.

One army or the other will break, and those projections of casualties vs turf will make their proponents look silly.
