They've ceded about 1% of their territory over the last 12 months as best anyone can figure it the fuck out.
Which is not a great ratio by any metric considering the however many millions a day it costs to maintain a war, the 10's of 10000's of casualties, loss of war material and losing practically all of their LNG exports, all the european market for petro+gas and 40% of their petro-refining- with that seeming to get worse by the week!
Its kind of hard to spin much in the way of positives for Russia
They do advances like old people fuck, the population is starting to get pissy and they're constantly luring in people with more and more promises of big cash. If you can't even get a volunteer intake into a military without the equivalent of 8-10yr wages in a lump sum... well, its real expensive.
At some point there is going to be some kind of crunch financially which just continually degrades their ability to keep up any kind of tempo. I mean you can pay a zigger to sit on a wheat field and claim it for Russia, but if you got 100 dudes killed doing it, making nothing out of that now fallow wheat field and still have to pay the cunt. You're just not making the big gains in any direction.
The ability for Ukraine to 'Spoil' Russian attacks seems to be never ending though, be it a missile into an ammo dump, drone into refinery, keeping AA cucks entertained or trucks full of drones blowing up a bomber fleet- that might be countered by the argument for 'well its not territory' which is the midwit idea that dirt is the main strategic issue here. Dirt don't deliver airstrikes, it doesn't pay the bills and all it seems to be mostly good for is fertilizing with dead russians
The end to the argument is also
>Dirt isn't being taken in any appreciable amounts
