Reply to comment by Ceratisa in Ukraine calls for faster weapons supplies as Russia presses eastern offensive by redcccp

Have you checked the map recently? It is pretty clear that Russians regained overall initiative, even at places like Kremiina there were some advances.

Yeah I agree right now the Ukranians are on the back foot. It looks like thousands of Russians dying to hundreds of Ukranians, but the Russians are still advancing. They don't seem to mind the cost.

1: Initiative is not "overwhelming"

2: Not known if remaining defensive is a conscious strategic choice while they are waiting for spring and the new hardware it brings. That is of course highly speculative.

But it does seem like positive movements map wise has been going the Russian way lately. No argument there. The less obvious part is whether that has come at a sustainable cost.
