   [“The fact that: Ukraine is able to hold its ground like this is a testament to their resilience. Without a sudden collapse in Ukrainian resistance, I do wonder how Putin can really keep this going” -207michael’s commentary on frontline situation in Ukraine.](https://bsky.app/profile/207michael.bsky.social/post/3lry5xtmgu22s)

2. This can’t be said enough. Now think of how many casualties it took for Russia to achieve these minimal gains.

3. Not even achieving one full percent more of ukraine in a full year is crazy.

4. When I see stuff like this, I am amazed all the more that the Red Army somehow went from Moscow to Berlin in what, ten *months*?

   Yes, yes, most circumstances were different (but it’s still a remarkable contrast).

5. Its not currently a war for territory. If its a war of attrition. Why extend your lines when the enemy comes to you?

6. It’s all part of a cunning plan to conquer Ukraine so slowly that nobody will be alarmed enough to offer them any serious help! I bet our great grandchildren will be mighty surprised when the Russians suddenly turn up on their doorstep!

7. Russia have 1000 casualties every day per average. So in ONE year they have gained 0.7% or 4000km2. That means that Russia have 365k casualties for less than a 1% gained? Equipment and vehicles losses not included. 🤯
