Etc. I could go on and on. You will not find a single aspect which was in better shape for Russia after March 2022. Every further “investment” in this lost cause just increased problems and it will increase the bill Russia has to pay after the war, which is certain.

- less net-controlled territory
- humiliating defeats in Kherson and Kharkiv
- much more destruction
- 150.000 more Russian casualties
- the modern Russian army gear almost entirely destroyed
- cities in ruins, even in Russia
- emboldened and unified Ukraine and West
- Russia’s stance in the world considerably diminished
- open rebellion by Wagner and incursions by Russian rebels
- large economic projects such as Nordstream destroyed

I’m increasingly hearing and reading the following comments from Russians in regards to the war in Ukraine:
“The war is wrong, but we cannot allow to lose now. Everything what has been invested in this war would have been lost and it all would have been in vain.”

Ukrainian forces are increasingly making progress around Bakhmut. The southern flank has two more visually confirmed areas where Ukrainian forces punched through Russian lines. Ukrainian tanks are operating east of the Siverskyi Donets Canal, increasing pressure on Klishchiivka.
Furthermore, the Kurdyumivka dam is under Ukrainian control.
