Vladimir Putin Is a Very Unhappy Man Right Now
There are conflicting reports about gains or losses of territory for Russia and/or Ukraine this year, but for all the casualties—between 1 and 2,000 a day for Russia—the total amount of territory that changed hands amounts to 10-20 square miles of already-devastated territory.

Russia suffers somewhere between 3 and 4 casualties for every Ukrainian they take out of the fight, and even with a larger population, that is simply not sustainable indefinitely.

Advertisement googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display("div-gpt-300x250_4"); //googletag.pubads().refresh([gptAdSlot["div-gpt-300x250_4"]]) }); I have argued that the tactical battlefield is in something akin to a stalemate, with many deaths and very few gains, but that the most important action is taking place through strategic strikes in Russia and Ukraine.
