have a look at the general result ...don't only rely on pro-russian sources 9 months trying to take Bakhmut 13 months since invasion and how much territory have russia gained that they didnt have at the start of the war ?
you don't need to read reports to find out how the war is going , just look at the map . Russia have despite all their weapons advantage and despite their personnel advantage have made little headway into Ukraine and at huge price .
