    I believe that in the entirety of 2023 Russia claimed another 518 km despite heavy military losses? Yeah, doesn’t look good for Russia.

      Russia claimed and held territory. Their military leadership doesn’t particularly value human lives in this conflict and hasn’t historically either. I have no doubt that they will continue the course suffering heavy human losses and eventually find some form of victory.

      Ukraine needs more people if they want any hope of staving that eventuality off. The Russians have very different ideas of fighting a war of attrition.
