So, let's talk about Chasiv Yar

My dear God, yes!

And may I add it's terrific to have you back in my loop, Bro.

I don't expect you to get writer's cramp posting back to me, but I'll need more from you than #102.

It's skimpy to say the least.

So let's talk..

That is exactly my understanding -- the lower "eastern suburb" which Russians have used to claim they've conquered all of Chasiv Yar.
They didn't, at least not yet.

In reality, we're talking about Russians taking fractions of a square mile at a Russian-Ukrainian casualty ratio of circa six-to-one.
