This week Putin said that It has become obvious to everyone that defeating Russia on the battlefield is impossible. Shortly thereafter President Trump stated that the Russian Army just keeps grinding forward and that it was time for Ukraine to make a deal. But the Russian soldiers fighting this war have a different perspective with one last week saying, “what’s going on at the front is a mess. They tell us everything is fine, but it's not true.”

In fact October is on track to be the deadliest month for the Russian military of the entire war and so far this year, the ‘unstoppable Russian Army’ has only taken a meager 76 square kilometers of territory.

You have to seriously wonder about who you should trust when the media leans more heavily into russian propaganda narratives about the inevitability of their success than russian military bloggers do....
