why? since Russia is destroying what remains of the
Ukraine military (boys,elderly) continually?
I'm sure that was the original Russian strategy, of the #2 military in the world, from the beginning, ignore WW2 developments in strategy like the blitzkrieg, and end up 400+ days later in a WW1 slug-fest over some small town. Brilliant strategy!
Actually it’s the other way around - Russia is done to sending convicts and conscripts to their death
The Russians may view this as a version of Verdun. Bleed the enemy dry in a battle of attrition. Just don’t lose too many friendlies in exchange.
