The writer carefully corrects the narrative that Russia’s military operation in Ukraine is bogged down or stalled. I say carefully because he stops short of calling Russia’s invasion a military success in the making, as a number of analysts have done. He does, however, warn against the misinterpretation of events: “On the actual battlefield, the Russian offensive has undoubtedly slowed over the past week. But what is being described as a ‘stalled’ takeover may be the result of the Russians taking time to reorganize their forces and improve their logistics.”
