Perhaps the author’s opinion is correct regards urban warfare. He does cite exceptions such as the first siege of Grozny where he concedes the Chechen’s defence had the advantage. I don’t think his thesis is applicable to Bakhmut but no matter.

My point is that Russia launched its attack to take the town in the middle of last year and has so far failed to do so. Yet you insist it is a sign that Russia is winning the war. I think that is delusional.
