this Russian documentary on YouTube is worth a watch. Surprised it is still on there!
gives you an insight to the Russian front line. Treatment of Russian soldiers nothing short of shocking. Most say propaganda and money got them there and once they are there they don’t get paid.
poorly trained, poorly equipped. Was filmed around 2023. Once they reach bakhmut half the blokes interviewed are gone.
It's probably still up as it's western propaganda for us to consume and make us think we are superior.
'Truth the first casualty of war' so we'll never really know what's going on in that war until years after it ends. All we can probably be sure of is there is awful things happening on both sides of the front line and behind the closed doors in the capitals of all the participants - which includes us.

Russia's 3 day Special Military Operation. They reckon over a million dead, and Ukraine still holding on.
Mad, difficult to see it ending anytime soon
It's like another Afghanistan for them, they even made hard work of Chechnya, and yet some military experts on here declared they would roll over Ukraine in 2 weeks

Someone will have to concede something for it to end.
Either Putin retreats or Ukraine gives up land.
The Russian army is now a complete shambles.
