MODERATORS
Yes. Their oil production is way down due to the destruction of a lot of their refineries so fuel supplies are running low. They are also unable to produce enough amination for their tanks. So their tanks won't go and can't fire, hard to call that winning.
They lost a few percentage points of total refining capacity.
The strikes Ukraine made did disrupt a large percentage of the refineries, that's true. But the strikes didn't do a lot of damage and the refineries were brought back onine shortly.
The total annual production of those refineries was affected. But only something like 3% - 6%.
This week there are reports, plus lots of corroborating videos showing orcs running into battle without helmets or armor. They don't seem to be doing great.
And yet Ukraine can't seem to defend against them? Russian territory gains have been accelerating over the last 4 weeks. Pretty bad situation if Ukraine can't defend against unarmored and unarmed soldiers
I mean were how many years into the 3 day operation? Seem to be doing pretty damn well
But can't defend against soldiers with no helmets and no armor?
Look i know your Russian education isn't great. I'll let you reread everything
