The Russian reaction to the reported death of imprisoned opposition politician Alexei Navalny on February 16 was relatively muted.
But ISW is like always expert, the difference between bakhmut and avdiivka is that fight inside avdiivka lasted like 2 weeks and in bakhmut 5 months and Russia didn't used most soldiers it prepared because the error they made with bakhmut they didn't continued pushing and this time they will especially if they have enough forces too push past the lines Ukraine was trying too prepare too retreat after avdiivka since they didn't finished those lines.
So instead of looking at shit objectively they again selling the cope oh since Ukraine lost city x it's insignificant. Yet they hyped robotino as something epic significant but now don't comment about it as Ukraine is about of losing it
@WeihnachtenSalvador stand with Ukraine
Thing what Avdiivka instantly will give is for Russian the ability too make Donetsk their new base and move tons of soldiers there and free roads

It must be really tough having your job be to keep hyping up this boring butt WW1-style (but on much smaller and less impressive scale) war.
Wahoo, 3 fat dudes standing next to a monument declaring victory over 3 identical fat dudes who just withdrew.

ISW was created after initial failure in Afghanistan, US gov decided too hire a fricking foid too find reason why in Afghanistan things don't go smoothly and give examples how things can be fixed and they paying millions a year too that foid and her team. They could easily hire for free some Texas neurodivergent who would do better job than that foid but US gov wanted a foid with fancy degree
