:The "notable progress" is occupation of half of a town with 6 streets. Of course Russian media calls it a "crumple zone" which formally the Pentagon and Western media would have called it a "kill zone" (or "meatgrinder"). So now the NATO and Ukrainian forces are only 12 kilometers from Russia's first of 5 lines of fortified defenses.

:The Russian withdrawal and Ukrainian occupation of half of Robotino is reminiscent of last years withdrawal from Kherson and parts of Kharkov province. Initially, Ukrainian "strategic" commanders (if there is such a thing) said Russian fortifications had to be breached in the first 10 days of the counteroffensive; it's now 90 days. (This would be like [[Eisenhower]] taking 90 days to land his first beachhead on Omaha Beach, leaving tens of thousands of corpses floating in the English Channel. He'd run out of men before ever completing the plans.)
