I am not about this operation in particular which obviously makes sense and does see its success. In the grand context of this war the daily losses to human life is just too great for whatever these sides try to achieve. There won’t be a magic collapse at this point with the speeds of territory changes. Ukraine swept into this poorly defended territory easily, as soon as entrenchments are built, it will be a slow moving, bloody fight as everywhere else on the frontlines.

These propaganda memes trying to pretend there is some magic win button just ignore the reality of how resource grating this war really is and in jow much trouble Ukraine is since the fall of Avdiivka.
