Propaganda comes from both side. russia claims total success and things are progressing as planed. Ukraine claims all russian fronts are stalling, russians are deserting and dying by the hundreds.
If you take half of each as almost true, it still shows russia is not succeeding.
The sanctions should be sucking the life out of the back end of the military not able to supply the fronts. It takes time to take the toll.
The only wrench is china or some 3rd world country pukein has threatened to force them to help russia.
One of the questions that need to be answered is are the russian army increasing in count and equipment? The checken asshole only has 30K maybe if the numbers are to believed, but he is another missionary pukein is bringing in. Why? If pukein russian army is so massive and powerful, why even have to ask any outsiders for help?
pukein's war machine isn't adding up.
