Russia knows how hard it is.

That was the first year of the war for them.

Weird how the Ukrainians are fixated on "territory", and the Russians are fixated on destroying the Ukrainian Army - which doesn't involve defending mere "territory" to the death.

There was another leader that wouldn't give up an inch of ground in this area, either. Spiritual father to the Azov creeps running the Ukraine now...

“...nascent counteroffensive...”

Nascent?

This already sounds like an excuse for failure.

Who wants a military counteroffensive they’ve begun to be described as akin to a bouncing newborn baby that Putin could quickly kill in the crib?
