Col. Douglas Macgregor: "Keep in mind, these reservists are going into groups of Russian forces that are collecting in the south and on the borders in western part of Russia and Belorussia. These forces are going to be quite large by the time they amass. They won't be used in mass in a concentrated fashion until November. What you're seeing happen right now after all of these massive counterattacks launched by the Ukrainians that achieved, frankly, nothing from a strategic standpoint at all. They have taker such horrendous losses that now local Russian forces are taking back the terrain that was lost. This happening down in Lyman. It's happening in the direction of Bakhmat. It's happening in Kherson. The very few kilometers they managed to scrape out are being lost. I think what we're watching are modest attacks by the Russians to straighten lines and set the conditions for the really large offensive that will break in November."

Stalemate? Laughable. Four ex-Ukraine Russian Provinces are now a part of the Russian Federation. Hint: Vlad isn’t giving them up, ever.
His first objective ( from his Feb 25 22 speech) has been met. Ukraine not to be admitted in NATO, second objective met, the denazification is on going.
Vlad holds the cards, get used to it, he spelled out his objectives quite clearly.
“Weren’t we promised by the obvious”
You agree with the homo in Kiev?
