What I've read dosnt agree with that statement. they are just being more careful with how they are used. This is also a growing trend, Ukraine are being more smart with how their kit is being deployed and used, and also how it is reported on, they have paid dearly by over publicising, opsec and the press taking liberties with reporting. I would say they are just as effective, its just that TTP's are evolving.

More delusion, you do seem to have Amnesia, Russians were close to Kyiv, much closer to Kharkiv a few weeks ago, they had to flee from the North, were pushed back from Kharkiv.
Russia isn't gaining ground overall, they got severely beaten in the North and had to retreat, they've gained some ground in the East but that's been eclipsed by ground they've lost around Kherson and Kharkiv.
Someone needs to show this one a map and how they work.
It's not the cat and mouse games that matter but the result of them.
and just wow at the bolded bit lol
Yep, someone does need to learn to read a map... what happened to the Russian positions around Kharkiv over the past few weeks? What happened to the Russian positions around Kyiv? What happened to the Russian positions around Kharkiv?

Overall Russia have gained ground, you can tell because they're in Ukraine.

How do you explain this?:
(Peak Russian territory gains so far)
(Current Russian held territory)

Really depends on the time scales
* Does Russia have more land today than it had on February 23 before the war? Yes
* Does Russia have more land today than it did in March? No, it lost a lot of land.
* Is Russia currently recovering land it lost since March? Yes, but very very slowly - and at the current pace it will take many years to take the whole country

It is largely an ebb and flow, though in recent days they've been progressing more in the east at huge cost.
The pettiness of the Russians on display, putting sanctions on someone for creating a meme
Christian Borys, the creator of the Saint Javelin meme is on the Russia's sanction list

Good god.
That is an awesome achievement lol

For everything they gain in the East, they are currently losing ground in the south, especially towards Kherson.
It is up to 50% of the equipment they committed to attacking Ukraine not their total military equipment - they have vast amounts more in storage than has been used so far albeit the condition and quality is another matter.
A lot of the really outdated stuff has been supplied to LNR/DPR forces rather than being used by Russian forces.
Ukraine needs at least 5x, more like 10x as much of the better quality of artillery to be able to convincingly out gun Russia and that is still some way from being supplied if they do get the quantities required meanwhile they are starting to exhaust supplies of their run of the mill artillery systems.
but none crimes are serious business obviously since the police waste their time on it for the up coming social credit score our government must be planning on implementing.
The other poster was referring to when things were going well and Russia was being beaten back... if that's the reference then no, Russia has been losing ground in Ukraine.
What land is it recovering that it lost since March?
It is making some new gains in the East at great cost but simultaneously losing ground in the South.
Being as the goal was regime change and total annexation of Ukraine and splitting NATO/EU then Russia has won very very little of what it wanted.Oh, OK, it's one of those... "What is the definition of a win" jobbies.Moral against military. Sounds like you are preparing for a lose scenario and getting the excuses in to me.
The fact it's Ukraine is on the way eventually to joing the EU has helped two new countries join NATO and increase the area that borders Russia, has increased the number of NATO troops on its borders ten fold.
Shown the world how weak the Russian military and thier supper weapons...are not so super after all, weakened thier economy massively and lost who knows how many young russian soldiers.
Then I guess you could be happy with your favourite dictator ' wining ' the Donbass region.
I think my concern (whether or not it's valid I have no idea) is how long Ukraine can play this game of tug of war. Where Russia goes on the offensive, Ukraine fights back, retakes territory and pushes Russia back. Then Russia does it again, and again and again.
I feel like Ukraine are still well in the game, but how long can they sustain it? It just feels to me (maybe wrongly) that Russia can go on like this for years if it wishes and won't really care.. Will Ukraine simply run out of steam and will the west run out of will to keep supplying them with gear?
Indeed, Putin doesn't care how much it will cost in both material,money and men, it's all about the Russian macho image now and Russia is prepared to pay for that image no matter the costs.
