    No position to take any territory back? How about the 300km^2 they took back already this summer?

        They have mobilized 300,000 troops last year. It’s news to Russia that they didn’t contest it, since they fought for and lost Pyatyhatky, just now fighting for and losing Zherebyanky.

        There are intense battles in Orikhiv area, but that could go either way. If Russia loses anything “they are not even trying”?

            Why should I believe those people? Who made them experts?

            Watch the actual developments on the ground, don’t listen to propaganda. Russian telegram channels tell you how the war is going, don’t need a guy to pretend to know the future

                Just because you study something doesn’t mean you magically know the future. Stop following “experts” and form your own opinion

                    No, even if you study all your life, it won’t let you predict the future. People study stocks all their lives and they still can’t beat a simple stock index in the long term. So stop listening to articles that make wrong predictions.

                    Like Mearshimer who in 2014 predicted Putin had no further territorial ambitions in Ukraine. Yet Putin annexed further regions in Ukraine, despite this “expert” studying stuff.
