Part 2/7:
Russian Offensive and Stalemate
Chapman stresses that the current Russian offensive is characterized by stagnation. Gains made by Russian troops in various regions remain minimal and largely irrelevant from a strategic perspective. The frontline is marked by minor advances that do not reflect a meaningful shift in control or power dynamics. The Russian army's inability to achieve significant breakthroughs is attributed to effective Ukrainian countermeasures, particularly enabled by Western weapons and intelligence.
