Nothing here to tell us how Russia 'is not winning'. Yet clearly stated is the fact that they have the initiative. Lots about new developments in drone technology. Why? Whatever our drones do, the Russians will probably do a bit better and in far greater number.
"...Kiev's forces appear to be on the back foot..." This is the famed British understatement is it?
"...of course, investment in a multi-layered, defensive line takes time..." Indeed it does, and it did. The defences of Mariupol, Bakhmut, Avdiivka and others, took years to devise and construct. Now that they are gone, any new and hastily prepared positions will be that much easier to overcome.
"Western armies see it very differently" Yes they do. They see it on screens hundreds of miles away in safe, comfortable ops rooms and in messes. Good way to fight a war: letting other people do the dying, or as US Sen' Lynsey Graham stated, and David Cameron more recently parroted, sending money to Ukraine is great value - we just print and send; they go forward, without air cover, and get torn apart. Has there ever been a more disgusting admission of venality and cowardice? Bring him a flipchart somebody please?
