Not shit sherlock, thats a foregone conclusions. People fail to realize just how much territory Russia has to take to fully occupy all 4 regions that were formally annexed to the Russian federation compared to how much they've actually taken in the past two years or so.

We're not even talking about urban centers of Zaporizhia and Kherson while even Kramatorsk is twice the size of Bakhmut.
