Interesting the propaganda.
We get different new from different sites.
Half the posts today say Ukraine is doing poorly, this article says the Russians are needing for every inch.
Oryx says Russian vehicle losses have gone back up to Summer levels, not much change in Ukraine losses.
200k Russian soldiers dead, which may be underestimating.
North Korea sending artillery shells to Russia, maybe China.

The battle lines haven’t changed much by the maps. Looks like Ukraine is fighting defensively. Suspect they are waiting for armor and training for summer push.

Something to ponder. NATO doctrine was always defense in Europe. To gain time for shipping and gearing up production against the hordes of Russian troops, artillery, and armor. How will NATO equipment fair in an offensive role without air superiority?

"the Russians are needing for every inch" etc.???

What does that mean? Please don't drop articles, verbs, pronouns, or conjunctions from the text. They are generally included in text to help the reader follow the flow of your message. This reads like you are on the front lines of Donbass and just have time for a scribbled note before you grab your gun and return to the action. Disjointed, disconnected, and rushed half-thoughts are quite confusing to the ordinary bloke who wishes to glean from your insights.

"Oryx says Russian vehicle losses have gone back up to Summer levels, not much change in Ukraine losses."
Should we all know who/what Oryx is?? Perhaps the post is meant to be an "inside baseball" message for the select few who already know?? This is why parenthetical comments are sometimes added. (eg. Oryx is another poster on the FR forum; Oryx is a highly regarded intelligence journal)
