Russia has launched an offensive into the Kharkiv region, and it has created a lot of alarmist news reports. In reality it is difficult to see what Russia's plan is, and it is not self-evident that it is a smart use of resources. In this video I discuss whether we might be seeing a return to the fragmented command structures that Russia had in the beginning of the war.

The tactical wins are probably not intended to be built on for additional gains. The real point was having video footage of Russia ground wins to recycle for another year. It's propaganda harvesting.
