As far as I can tell Russia has achieved what they planned to so far, and have plenty of resources in reserve for the battles to come. Ukraine is fucked and the only reason Zelensky hasn’t given up yet is because his balls are in a NATO star shaped vise.

The Scott Ritter Twitter thread already linked is good to go over the general strategy. I have found Brian Berletic’s weekly updates super informative as well (YouTube, The New Atlas).
