On Saturday, Biden called Putin's announcement that Russia had deployed its first tactical nuclear weapons to Belarus "absolutely irresponsible".

    Are they really losing? Looking at the map it seems like they control 2x territory compared to pre-2022. And they just recently took Bakhmut.

      Are they really losing?

      They’re fielding T-55 tanks. Your explanation for that (which is suspect) is that they are being used for troop transport.

      Why would a winning army be using tanks first made in 1958 and last made in 1962 as troop transport instead of modern present day BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicles or modern BTR-80 vehicles?
