So you're saying Russia was telling the truth when they said the Moskva caught fire accidentally? and Russia was telling the truth when they said only 1625 troops have died so far?

No, I am an observer like you and have no way of verifying what either side claims. So far, Kiev's claims have proven wildly wrong, while circumstances have eventually supported Moscow's reports. Kiev shouts and begs in its official communications, in sharp contrast to the Russian MOD's calm daily reports. These factors, combined with Russia's superior numbers and unimpeded theater logistics, indicate that tide and time are stacked against Kiev.

Russia's superior numbers and unimpeded theater logistics

Russia is getting gobsmacked, their numbers aren't so superior any more ... the fact that they called off the full invasion of Ukraine tells us that

and what good does "unimpeded theater logistics" do if your logistics supply is incompetent?

plus technology is now a big factor now, the Great Equalizer ... and Ukraine has the edge in that area

so I say Russia runs into a buzzsaw ... stay tuned, we'll all see which view is right!
