Russia has lost the initiative. There is no talk of a Russian offensive. It’s the high water mark for Putin.
“...There is no talk of a Russian offensive....”
From what I have been able to discern, Russia at this moment is in a defensive mode having fortified several lines of defense. They are primarily relying on artillery, missiles, drones and their air force. Where their first line of defense has fallen to the Ukrainians, they have counter-attacked and reversed the UK gains in a couple of cases, not in others. It will be interesting if Russia does go on the offense. What territory would they take?
Ukraine was able to make advances under the cover of fog, rain and bad weather. This prevented the use of drones, precision artillery and air power.
We'll see what happens to the Ukes after the weather changes.
The sooner they get deleted from the battlefield, the sooner we can stop wasting laundered money over there.
