Goddamn, people. Read!

Proof Russia can't fight because if they could they would have won weeks ago and this imaginary encirclement Russia simps keep bleating about isn't going to happen. It's amazing Russia can lose battle after battle and the simps will keep saying they aren't losing yet they win one minor victory and they act like it means something...
As of today, satellite imagery shows that Russians are digging trenches in occupied territories. It looks like the new Russian offensive which will start from Bakhmut or from Belarus is not really going to happen. I think they know what’s coming although they are saying that modern tanks are not going to change anything. Another interesting fact: The size and capacities of the Russian army seems to have been overestimated since the Soviet Era. Russians are turning to relic tanks from the 1960’s which belong to museums or should be in the possession of some rich collectors for their war in Ukraine.
So for all these reasons, I think there could be some regime change with a more logical approach to everything in the coming months. (hopefully)
I wouldn't take digging in as a sign that they won't renew attacks. They could well be waiting for the ground to freeze over to provide mobility, and digging in until that occurs, or they may be trying to economize forces on one front in order to provide for a larger offensive elsewhere; or a combination of both.
