Hello koozy. Thanks and same to you. Decent summary, but the main thing I think Russia have done, is adapt to the fact NATO/western countries have continued to use Ukraine as their pawn, to the detriment of the Ukrainian people. Kursk invaders are currently being removed. As always, Russia seems to wait and allow military to accumulate before striking with their more powerful weapons. Like in Volchansk, their more destructive weapons tend to be used against accumulated forces. Not civilians. The end result seems to be culminating recently, with AFU constantly unable to maintain their positions in defensive lines they have been upgrading for a decade. My uneducated opinion is that these AFU pushbacks to continue at a growing rate as time goes on.
