Russia's desire to go slow to save its own troops' lives and grind weakened the Ukrainian military to the point a major offensive is much easier.
You don't seem grasp what is going on -- the Russian strategy for the past year and a half has been to destroy the Ukrainian military, not gain territory.
But, the bet you made and lost with me proves you're objective or rational when it comes to what is occurring on the battlefield.
Nice dream but that is not what has been going on. The Russians have been launching multiple unsupported attacks across open fields and have been suffering horrible casualties. Estimates are that the ratio between Russian and Ukrainian casualties has been around 2.5:1.
“to save its own troops lives”... BRAZEN STATEMENT
If that were the case, Russia would not be engaging in meat wave attacks.
“Russia’s desire to go slow to save its own troops’ lives”
ROTFLMAO!!!!
