Regardless, still does not change what I posted and linked, most of the fighting has been done by Russian Ukrainian irregulars and militia and only a small fraction, other than massed Russian artillery, has been utilized.

LOL, you posted a link to a blogger, who claimed "only a small fraction"... has been utilized, who did not substantiate his claim. vs pentagon claims 75% of Russian combat forces are in Ukraine and French sources that put the number at 80%.

You fail easily to realize just who that “blogger” is.....

A veteran of the CIA and the State Department’s Office of Counter Terrorism.

Provided training to the US Military’s Special Operations community for 24 years.

Would and will continue to take his analysis over that of anyone within the US/UK/NATO/EU military, etc. any day. Bet.

Ask him, yeah?
Each of his article’s has a posting section.....

Still does not change his overall assessment or analysis.
As par, attack the messenger, not the message.
And many to this day still wonder why Jesus Christ was crucified.
Go figure.

The ‘fake republics’ you refer to are regions that asked for the Russians to intervene to stop the years of Ukrainian atrocities, shelling, etc. against the Russian Ukrainian citizens in the south and southeast Ukraine region(s).

That's complete and utter nonsense. Putin intervened immediately in 2014 with his 'little green men' setting up these 'fake republics'.

Although in 2014 the Russian government often denied direct involvement, saying their soldiers were there voluntarily and not under orders, some of them had been captured with documents that said otherwise. The separatists have admitted receiving supplies from Russia and being trained there. BBC reported that separatist ranks are composed of thousands of Russian citizens

Of course it does. When the Pentagon says 75% of Russian combat forces are in Ukraine and you're blogger says its "only a small fraction... has been utilized", you have to question his analysis.

What’s your motive pal? You seem to live in a swamp of Russian propaganda.

Meanwhile Ukrainians are killing Russians to expel them from Ukraine.

Maybe you should offer the Russians a tissue to wipe up their blood.

I am not your pal.

Kmart offers weekly Blue Light Specials on Kleenex.

And Russians, as well as Russian Ukrainian citizens who are fighting along side Russian forces, irregulars and militas are killing Ukrainians ZelenskyyIdiot forces.

It’s called war/conflict.
