Yet more copium. After 3 months the AFU has not even reached the Russian first line of defence. The AFU offensive envisaged breaking through the Russians first line of defence within the first month of the offensive. More and more voices within the Western military establishment are finally acknowledging that the AFU offensive is a failure. I feel sorry for AFU soldiers being thrown into attritional battles like at Rabotino without any air support and often lacking artillery support as well. Meanwhile, as the AFU offensive stalls in the south the Russians are making progress towards Kupyansk and are literally a few miles from the town. Ukraine lacks the manpower and military-economic base to fight a long attritional war.
