monstars.bsky.social @monstars.bsky.social · 03/09/2026One more caveat before the numbers. In my map comparison, Ukrainian and Russian representations of the same front now diverge by as much as 25 kilometers, enough to make any month-by-month reading fragile unless you fix a convention and hold it. 170 0

monstars.bsky.social @monstars.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Bottom line: Russia missed every major operational objective and underperformed on every front, and still advanced on all the major axes. Put simply — Russia failed operationally without failing tactically. Ukraine succeeded tactically without solving its structural problems. 181 0
