While we are talking about Trump and the election, Russia is making progress in Northern Ukraine..

Looks like they have upped their war machine and unfortunately have taken control of Ogurtsovo, with several Ukrainians taken hostage..

Seems like Ukraine is having troubles in NE sections of the country.

it's not difficult for me to believe these are a series of small, tactical Pyrrhic victories Moscow wants to use for PR purposes before they're forced to retreat. Again.

1750 KIA yesterday alone.

The Russians have certainly been more active and aggressive lately, but whether they are truly making what could be called “progress” remains to be seen.
