It's been a stalemate at best for the last two months. Considering Russian losses and Ukrainian weapons supply, this is not looking good for Putin.
Ah, that's why
the US are begging for an immediate ceasefire. This certainly has nothing to do with the Western military advisers who have now crawled out of Mariupol's steelworks, at all

Nothing in the link you provided supports your ludicrous claims. However a ceasefire would be great for everyone. Unfortunately the deluded clown in charge of Russia doesn't care about little things like people dying or the economy being flushed down the toilet.
The only exception to russia's extreme cost savings measures are their alleged launching of hypersonic missiles which cost $100 million each.
Kinzhal is an ALBM version of Iskander, it doesn't cost anywhere near $100 million.
