Well if they’re going to counter-attack they better do it right now.
They did say that they were trying to bait the Russians in closer, hopefully they didn’t outsmart themselves.
Wasn’t Zelensky told to pull back from that place and he vowed to fight on and hold? Maybe comedians do not make good generals after all. Mr. Zelensky won the Propaganda war hands down, but the real war—maybe not so much. He was warned to make a deal with Putin. Maybe now might be a good time to get on the horn and start to work on a cease fire?
The Russians have lost a lot of soldiers for not much gain.
I suspect the Wagner Group has lost so many Russians by bad tactics that it has lost the favor of the Russian Federation government.
You do not want to make yourselves the “bait who is encircled”. You get fired on from every direction.
