re: Latest Updates: Russia-Ukraine Conflict

In recent weeks, Russia has likely changed its approach again. Its campaign now likely primarily seeks to degrade the Ukrainian military, rather than being focused on seizing, substantial new territory. The Russian leadership is likely pursuing a long-term operation where they bank that Russia's advantages in population and resources will eventually exhaust Ukraine.

At this point that’s really the only option left for Russia. It’s already been painfully demonstrated to Russia their army is incapable of pulling off a major offensive on a strategic level sufficient enough to force Ukraine to capitulate. All that is left to them is ironically the same strategy the German Empire was taking against France at this exact time in 1916 at a place known as Verdun, namely to “bleed them white”. That’s basically the only card Russia has left to play short of resorting to weapons of mass destruction.
