An excuse for the general situation that a breakthrough by Russia will take maybe two years. I think Russia prefers a stalemate, so this Wagner leader might be throwing shade. It looks like hiring mercenaries out of prison is now institutionalized by the state rather than Wagner. I’ve heard about young men convicted of illegal logging or repeatedly failing to pay child support. A huge and expandable recruiting pool. Ukraine (and Belarus, btw) signed the 1997 treaty to ban antipersonnel mines. Ukraine will be held to that, whereas Russia is deploying them in urban areas.
