I'm afraid this is where we'll see an end to the hopeful narrative that Russia has been stymied by the brave resistance evident in Ukraine. Russia has its pieces almost in place, and cares little that their plan may have fallen weeks, maybe even a few months, behind schedule. Its tolerance of taking heavy casualties, as well as inflict them, in order to win a necessary objective is well known. There is much remaining after Kiev, but the fall of that city and much of the Eastern half of the country will only fuel its efforts.
Too many links to ABC News Australia in this article. It's a garbage organisation with so much bias and discrimination that it has lost nearly all credibility in Australia.Even the lowly CNN run more accurate "stories".
