The objective is not territory, but rather, the destruction of the Ukrainian military.
Bingo! 600,000 Ukes dead and many more injured to the point they aren’t coming back to the battle field.
Russia routinely leaves large numbers of their dead to rot on the battlefield.
(Video)”Ukraine. Summer 2024. June. The(Russian) corpses have already decomposed. How can we identify them? By badge? By DNA? All our brothers died. When will they be buried?” — the orc shows a large number of his destroyed comrades. He laments that the corpses are not taken away and they rot in the fields.

Something the west has never once stated are the tactics Russia states. That is the destruction of the AFU.
Reading the article... it blames the fiction of a slow down in weapons to Ukraine. The 61B was passed to cover unfunded Ukraine support. After the 61B the EU & US sent billions more, doubling that amount, quietly.
Russia is making a lot of unreported gains before the NATO meeting. It is not reported, period. Ukraine is getting buried, losing 17000 WIA/KIA in the past week thru Thursday. Thursday was over 4400.
It has only been 10 days since the FAB3000 introduction. Ukraine lost two MIG 29s in one incident.
Those Iscander missiles are destroying airfields, depots, troop concentrations, electric generation, and they used 2 yesterday wiping out a battalion of M270 dual HIMARS.
Russia is starting to make large gains of 2-15 km in a variety of sectors. Towns are falling within a week of contact... Towns used to hold for months but Ukraine no longer has the manpower or equipment.
Russia has doubled the intensity of bombing and artillery use the two weeks. The causality figures reflect this, and the map is moving with constant advances.
Did anyone notice here at FR that since the debate, the trolls posting Ukraine propaganda seemed to take a break... in part due to Biden admin and Ukraine stoppage of actual Frontline reporting.
Ukraine is a losing issue for the Democrats.
