Russia is Still Losing the War...and it's not even close - Paul Warburg

There's been a lot of attention on the front lines in the Ukraine War lately. In particular, Pokrovsk and Chasiv Yar have made headlines, with Russia claiming they captured the cities. But this wasn't actually true. That brings to mind deeper questions - are these targets actually highly strategically important, or are they more important merely as propaganda objectives for Russia to show a sense of "progress" in their war?

and every time we hear of a Ukrainian attack it's on a military target. Zelenskyy is unlikely to make a cease fire deal if he is winning militarily, and Putin won't agree to a cease fire without concessions from Ukraine, because his people aren't going to give him bad news about military losses.
