LOL did you even read the article ?

In your haste to find anything negative about Russia (how are egg prices? Still elevated?) You posted something that confirms Ukraine is losing

Maintain means keep the states quo

From the article:
Russia has gained territory in eastern Ukraine during the first four months of 2024, claiming the strategic Donetsk stronghold of Avdiivka in February and moving westward in the months since

He sounds like my ol’ football coach at the beginning of the season knowing we has a powerhouse but telling the press such things as:

“If our injured return full strength, we should win some games.”

“Well, if the QB stays healthy we will have a winning season.”

If the defense steps up a notch we will win more than we lose.”

erc.

It’s done every 15 years or so. General Dynamics, Northrup etc. need to know if it works in a real world scenario.

Sometimes the desert SW just doesn’t cut it.
