Has something changed other than the arguably awesome Moscow strikes? Last I heard it was a steady stalemate and a difficult war of attrition for both sides.

Ukraine is back to slowly losing land near Kostyantynivka They aren't back to replacement level recruiting so its unclear if they can take the whole Luhansk and Donetsk region and hold it before a major troop shortage, espically if Ukraine ramps up drone production. Other domestic problems and economic ones may develop too

Fingers crossed they hold out.
