Culprit appears to be another crazed Ukraine fanátic.

Population is one of Russia's big weaknesses. They have a rapidly declining population, in part due to the emancipationof women, and the terrible economics of the end of communism, their birth rate crashed and remains well below replacement like most nations. Also, state sanctioned alcoholism , the...

Given that they are still advancing and the Russian defence is all over the place? Yes, obviously. Russia does not have the (willing and capable) manpower to defend its entire front line. That is the whole point. Before this "incursion" almost everybody believed that Russia didn't need to...

Ah, I see!! When Russia loses territory it is permanent, but not the other way around!

Do you somehow think that Ukraine can hold a gew villages with improvises defences when they' couldnt hold Bakhmut or Adviivka?

Gaining territory in Ukraine while losing territory in Russia is not success. If he cannot afford to lose in Ukraine, he can even less afford to lose in Mother Russia herself. It's a temporary loss, and the relative importance of each bit of land is clear for everyone to see(some won't take off the...
