How Russia’s summer offensive is failing – and what that means for Ukraine

1. Russia still takes terrain every single day. Well yes, the atrack of Ukraine failed on the first day, but they still are on the upper hand.

2. Looks like there is a new information operation to cast Ukraine as “losing” the war. People, Russia is indeed advancing, at a rate that would require centuries to capture all of Ukraine. Also, as in the case of Kharkiv, Ukraine has shown they are perfectly capable of stopping and reversing Russian gains *when they want to*. Ukraine’s plan is clearly to inflict maximum losses on the Russians and pull back slowly so as to take minimum losses of their own. Ukraine has *plenty* of space to prosecute this strategy. Don’t believe the IPSO, the war is currently a stalemate on the ground, and Ukraine has advantages in several other domains.
