WHEN A VERY PRO-RUSSIAN INTERNET WEB SITE SAYS SOMETHING IS WRONG YOU KNOW SOMETHING IS WRONG!!

Russian military effort the capture of Ugledar part of parcel of an effort to encircle the Ukrainian besieged bastion of Bakhmut not going according to plan!

"Battle For Ugledar: Russian Forces Lost Initiative On Battlefield (Videos 18+)"

From southfront.org | 17.02.2023.

"The town of Ugledar became one of the bloodiest battlefields on the Donbass front lines. The Armed Forces of Ukraine have focused their main forces on the western and eastern outskirts of the city in an attempt to prevent their encirclement."

[....]

"So far, the Russian offensive, which began at the end of January, has been stopped. The Ukrainian military managed to take advantage of their defense in a city located in the Ukrainian steppe and the miscalculations of the Russian military command."

The plan is the base from which all change is made as circumstances warrant. And the Russian command is adaptable, resilient, flexible and can adjust in a timely manner?

"Moscow is hoping it will be third time lucky as the first anniversary of its offensive approaches"

Russian forces as committed to include the 155th Russian Marine
Brigade. The famous Russian "Black Death". Ground forces of the best personnel only trained to the highest level of performance. They too are stymied?

"Doing The Same Thing Over And Over And Expecting Different Results." The definition of insanity?

HEY! Whatever happened to Mikhail Tukashevskyy and "deep operations"?
