Description:
After more than four months of fighting, Ukraine’s counteroffensive is grinding on. There have been none of the rapid mechanised advances many Ukrainian allies hoped for. Instead, there has been a hard, grinding assault intended to slowly break into, and eventually through, the main belt of Russian fixed defences.
Today I want to look at the way the counteroffensive has evolved over time, what we’ve learned about Russian defences and tactics, and what all of that might mean as months of mud and winter cold grow ever closer.
In what way do you think his anonymity influences his credibility?
Same way it always does, an anonymous source is always inherently less credible. If I believe him a certain percentage now, I would believe him more if his real life name and reputation were on the line.
Then any quantity and diversity of experience helps. The more the better.
