It’s been clear for some time that the summer offensive is a one-shot effort. A failed offensive would make it impossible politically to fund a second effort and inevitably force Zelenskyy to the negotiating table to give up the occupied lands.
I mean nobody seriously believes that this will be over by the end of 2023.
Whilst it’s dangerous to ever underestimate Russian incompetence, they’re still not *that* incompetent.
I guess their actual level of incompetence is still to be determined, but surely at the moment it stands to be judged as "very".
