'What we've got is essentially two armies that are several miles apart from each other just heaving rockets and artillery shells back and forth.'
. I'm Arun Venugopal in for Melissa Harris-Perry. This week marks the 20th week of Russia's war on Ukraine. Back in February, no one would've predicted the trajectory of this conflict, least of all Russian president of Vladimir Putin.
Right now, it's this really brutal, indiscriminate oftentimes shelling of these really dense civilian areas of Eastern Ukraine where Russia is trying to capture these strategic points in the Eastern Donetsk region to push deeper west into Ukraine and to gain more foothold for what many believe will be a larger, broader attack to ultimately take over control of the country. I don't Vladimir Putin has, in any way, this diminished view of the conflict in what he wants to achieve there.
It's one way in which the Russians can hold their positions, not lose ground, and then still soften the ground ahead of them for fresh troops to move through the ruins once they're brought in.Recruitment efforts are increasingly a problem with Russian soldiers returning from duty complaining of impossible conditions, and they've been forced to offer cash bonuses to soldiers and all kinds of other incentives to try to staff the war effort.
