My interpretation is they're pushing and (sadly) making progress, though much slower than they'd like. https://www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/russia-ukr

Judging by the many videos of interrogations of Russian POWs, many of them are just kids who barely know where they are, are unmotivated and poorly equipped. Hardly a professional and well-equipped army. There are also indications of logistical challenges (videos of Russian military vehicles running out of fuel, that sort of thing).
- justsomehnguy 5y agoThe main problem (?) here is why Russian forces totally forgot how to move in a convoy. They constantly lose their mates, move in a line like they are on a parade, move without deployed AA. This is beyond "unmotivated and poorly equipped", this is Africa/Middle East levels of incompetency. There is something very, very fishy going there.
- extrapickles 5y agoRunning out of fuel is pretty common in military vehicles as the fuel gauges are at best reliable to half a tank. Drivers are supposed to track how far they have driven, but if its driven by multiple people and someone forgets to log distance or the vehicle is forced to idle for a long time the distance can be off. Also a broken fuel gauge will not mark the vehicle as a casualty. Its not critical equipment as your supposed to be tracking fuel usage as a driver.
