'Russia exaggerating gains in Ukraine to push for territorial concessions'

Speaking with FRANCE 24’s Mark Owen, Christina Harward, Russia Deputy Team Lead at the Institute for the Study of War, says that the ‘Russian advances are coming at a literal foot-pace’ and ‘this is not the picture that the Russians are trying to paint’, adding that Russian casualties are astronomical. She explains that Russians are trying to diplomatically strongarm Ukraine and the West into giving up this territory, because they ‘know the fight is going to be long’.#039Russia #exaggerating #gains #Ukraine #push #territorial #concessions0391769659243
