Russians doing better?

[Montesquieu]

We are constantly told that the Russians are losing the fight with Ukraine (despite our help to the latter).

But here is an article that shows that we are given nothing but a Goebbels-esque version of events:

First US intel admission of Russian advances in Ukraine​

“The Russians aren’t winning and the Ukrainians aren’t winning and we’re in a bit of a stalemate here,” said Lt-Gen Scott Berrier, DIA chief at the Pentagon on Thursday. However, Scott Avril Haines, National Intelligence Director, speaking alongside him, maintained that the Russian forces’ advance in Donbass portends their complete control of East Ukraine. They are now massing units in Luhansk in an effort to capture Snake Island on the Black Sea and so attain full control of the northern stretch of that sea, according to Haines. This is the first time that US intelligence officials admit to Russian territorial gains in the Ukraine war and allow that their army’s performance shows improvement.

Thank you DEBKAfile.

I honestly don't think we have a clue who is doing well in the war.

We get propaganda from Russia and from Ukraine.

Russia has a population that is a magnitude higher than Ukraine, with an military that is 10x the size. While the Russian military may be antiquated and may not have a clue what it is actually fighting for, that does not mean they are actually losing.

Being ex-military one becomes dubious of news sources. Don't talk to me on Bosnia.

But again, DEBKAfile is valid (with their national/ethnic/religious affiliation obvious).
