it appears it will be a pyrrhic victory

yup, if it happens, that would make 6 months for Russia to advance 20 miles ... wow

and how many billions of dollars and thousands of Russian dead just to get those meager gains?

Russia can't keep that up

Over the month of February 🇷🇺 increased the area of land they control in Ukraine by approximately 85km².

This equates to a total of ~16.67% of Ukraine being occupied by 🇷🇺 forces, a 0.01% increase since the end of January.

I saw a report earlier that put Russian casualties at 2,000 per 100 yards.

It looked like they would quit after the disasters in the former cities of Mariupol, Severodonetsk and Lysychansk. But nope, they are gluttons for punishment. Things are going so disastrously for Russia at Bakhmut that we should consider giving them a few billion dollars just so they keep going onward to the next disaster once they have completed their failure at Bakhmut.
