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



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?
