quite clear that the Russian offensive didn’t go as planned. Yeah, a battle plan rarely survives first contact. The other side has a say in what will happen…
But, I think theRussians are doing FAR better, strategically, than we think. I just think the resources of Mother Russia will eventually overwhelm the scrappy Ukrainians. Now granted, there likely won’t be much left, then. But Russia wants the strategic territory, not the buildings!
