While 🇷🇺’s military is hollow and inept + running low on equipment, Putin’s not half as desperate as he once was & one area where 🇷🇺 remains the gold standard is information warfare and they are definitely doing in this large part to try and break the will of Western leaders and voters (especially the U.S.) and/or in many cases, give right wing populists and some leftist politicians too, a narrative they already want to sing (I.E., Ukraine’s war is hopeless and Russia is too powerful or it’d cost too much to beat them). As we’ve seen, both the cost and Russian capacity arguments are ludicrous. Russia is drowning and for most of the major Western supporters, their aid has been at the scale of a rounding error. I’m assuming this is what Anders will say in the video. And, if so, it’s the right take.
edit: after watching the video, the one area where I disagree with Anders is that the losses are good for their narrative and show resolve. However, in a way, he says this himself.
