  1. It’s more of a dredge now, but you’re right, it looks better, more blended in with the river.

  2. That’s not actually true. The Ukrainians need to hold together, maintain cohesion, as they get battered, while they batter back. They can absorb more losses than the Russians can, if it’s necessary. Russia is already scraping the barrel for available troops and equipment. And it’s not getting much resupply help from its supposed allies, who have their own problems. Putin can still declare war, which would allow for greater mobilization, but also could hurt him domestically. The Kremlin sold this as a very limited operation, and they sold it hard. Doing an about face now is tantamount to admitting failure and to admitting they were lying. That’s would be harder to sell, even if the Russian public is brainwashed. But either way, there is a limit to the pain Russia can take. The threshold for the Ukrainians is much higher, if it comes to that.
