Emphasis on inches. Ukraine War Mapper [1] does a good job documenting the line of control. It's not a good look for what, until recently, looked like a dominating regional power.
This spring will show if they can change the current calculus but if not Russia is going to change the end game.
Something is changing every day as Russia's annual defence budget's worth of modern arms and training are deployed by Kyiv [1][2].

Of course, they are going slower than that. And also, at the current rate of attrition, Russia will run out of Russians long, long before that.
I'll do the same:
> Russia has gone backwards for a year now.
This is false, Russia went backwards, and then went forwards. Maybe you meant to say "has gone backwards with respect to where it was last year". That is true.
Please write precisely, write what you mean, so others don't have to realize you actually mean something else than what you wrote
In the media you are allowed to see.
It just reads like a massive cop-out, a "you are misinformed, sheeple"-style of empty platitude trying to sound somewhat smart, or deep, or "more informed".
One of the worst things I've seen happening in my lifetime is this transition to a post-modern, post-truth world. It's just exhausting that people feel it's ok to say "you are misinformed" in different ways, without ever providing a different proper source for information, a source where others could at least try to gauge if they're misinformed or not.
It's simply a thug-of-war between people living different realities, both accusing the other side of falling to some propaganda without basis.
Sorry for the rant, y'all, but this bullshit really grates, hard.
You aren't making your point clearer, you are just repeating "wake up, sheeple" with a different word salad...
