Just look at the publisher of such articles. Russia is not even try to fight the propaganda war, they don’t care. But what is actually happening on the ground is a different story, why does the red part of the map (Russia controlled), keep incrementally increasing. Boy are they taking their time, to minimize civilian losses. Check out “ military summary” or “ The Duran” on you tube, there are more. I look at both sides, it not my war. Yet it is a US proxy war with Russia using Eukrainian Nazis as the fodder. Russia knows it, and for some reason historically, they really hate Nazis.
You are looking at the wrong map
On real maps, the Red decreases literally by the hour
You mean decreasing, and not "incrementally." In fact, before Russia lost all that territory, they hadn't had any gains since July.
“ Boy are they taking their time, to minimize civilian losses.”
Only the kindest carpet bombing. Because they really care.
