Sounds to me like a tacit admission of little to no material gain and low morale, sadly.
I mean, if you wanna count lives spent for kilometers gained for Russia it looks pretty fucking bad too. Like historically bad.
Sounds to me like a tacit admission that you're unhappy with the number of Russians pushing up sunflowers in Ukraine.
The morale of those Russian soldiers doesn't matter, because they exploded.
I want Russia destroyed as a polity for what they've done. But I'm not interested in repeating these cheap memes from my warm home thousands of miles away while Ukrainians suffer to make that meat grinder you're so amused by possible. I'm interested in what's actually going on on the ground, not what Ukrainian cheerleaders and state media want you to hear.
Really?
Because it sure sounds like you're working to complete the following task:
Undermine Ukranian morale by maximizing a sense of futility.
Meanwhile, Russia scrapes personnel to replace the over one million Russian casualties incurred so far.
If you want to see examples of what that invincible Russian juggernaut looks like in action, go through my comments history, and look for 🌻 s.
Watch the videos, and pay close attention to how poorly equipped they are. Note the ones forced back out to the battlefield on crutches.
Then watch them explode.
What? How do you get that?
The only reason you would say "you can't measure our victories in kilometers" is if it would look bad if you did.
As much as I would like to wish Ukrainians were throttling Russia at every turn, the reality appears to be that the war is at a very costly stalemate and has been for months if not years. Sitting in an undermanned foxhole for weeks or months basically waiting to get shelled or FPV'd to death with no end in sight is not a recipe for high morale.
No but attacking vs defending during winter makes a huge difference for morale since the defender can sit tight whereas the attacker always has to press forward from shelter.
See: Operation Barbarossa, and how that ultimately panned out
Ya sure, no end in sight. LMAO
It actually looks pretty amazing though. At the rate Russia has been advancing and losing troops, it would take over a hundred years and more than all of Russia to take Ukraine.
