So Russia then tried to occupy more of Ukraine but without a sustainable force to rotate (Russia committed 80% + of its BTGs which took heavy casualties). Russia needed to be able to defend an enormous front line and control the areas it was occupying. Not an easy task. 3/ — PolitiTweet.org

Much of this comes back to Russia's unclear goals since April. Once it became clear that Russia couldn't seize or encircle Kyiv, Mykolaiv, Kharkiv, etc., its prospects for compelling Kyiv were weak. Even if Russia took all of the Donbas, that wouldn't end the war. 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

But the choice to use a huge amount of artillery ammunition and to throw minimally trained volunteers into the fight in the spring was a very short-term view. It was never clear how Russia could achieve conflict termination, especially since Ukraine had a morale advantage. 4/ — PolitiTweet.org
