However, 80 days have passed, and there are more and more signs that this combat plan has failed.

Because the Russian army suffered tens of thousands of casualties on several fronts in the Donbass, but made only insignificant progress, which largely consumed the temporary advantage in personnel numbers that Russia obtained through a partial mobilization order last year.
