War is a dynamic phenomenon, after all.

Doesn’t change the fact that this 3 week operation, is now a 1000+ day embarrassment for Russia. Where instead of taking Ukraine in 3 weeks, they’ve only managed 20% in almost 3 years, and at extreme cost of both human lives and war material. Plus they’ve committed a long string of war crimes.

I don’t see how any tankie can turn this to look good for Russia, except flat out lying about it.
