Moscow, and St. Petersburg before it have never cared about the size of the butcher's bill for any of their military adventures.Given the parlous state of their reserves, that might be useful to Putin for controlling the domestic narrative, but in terms of combat capability -- T-62s and raw recruits on the battlefield?

Russia's wins in the east reveal an important trend in the Ukraine war
The Russian military's successes in the east of Ukraine illuminate an important trend in this war: the Russians are starting to learn from their earlier failures, writes Mick Ryan.www.abc.net.au
The Ukrainian military has had the ability to strike targets in Russia and Belarus this entire time.
Yet, they haven't.
They are not interested in anything but repelling the invaders off their land and that has been their primary focus since day one and I cannot see any reason why they'd change their focus.
In all this war of statistics, one still needs to keep in mind as to what the "real" losses might be.Interesting UK assessment on Russian morale
If, besides low morale, we add T-62 tanks, and (so far unsubstantiated) reports that Russia is almost depleted of iskander missiles, maybe those optimists that claim that tides may turn in summer are actually right.

Is Biden dithering though? What's the source that long range capable weapons are being refused? We might be being trolled by the outrage machines.Like I said, if that is indeed the rationale, I'm not sure I agree with it. Just pointing out one possible reason Biden seems to be dithering at what I think we all agree is a critical time.
Probably, the first public video of one of those missions.About the helicopter supply of Mariupol.
"Flying two at a time and once four at a time, Ukrainian Mi-8 Hip helicopter crews braved dense Russian air defense and enemy aircraft concentrated in and around Mariupol to deliver desperately needed supplies and fresh troops to the defenders of the besieged Azovstal steel plant" .
"Of the 16 total helicopters involved, two were destroyed... Another helicopter was destroyed coming to the rescue of one of the downed Hips"
