Campbell’s assessment seems to contradict those of the Pentagon and America’s allies in Europe.

At a meeting of countries that support Ukraine late last month, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said that Russia had suffered more than 315,000 casualties during the war. With a drop in American aid, leading to ammunition shortages on Ukraine’s front lines, Russian forces have advanced. But those too have been costly, the Pentagon has said.

In an interview earlier this year, the chair of Lithuania’s national security committee estimated it would take Russia between five and seven years to reconstitute its forces for a full-scale war.

Hey, how do you do the green line on the left when quoting an article? Thanks

Lemmy uses Markdown to insert HTML into comments. Here's a very complete guide, and you can search for more if you want. You can also view the source on a comment whose formatting you want to emulate to see how they did it. It's the little paper icon, if you have it available in your client of choice.

To answer your question directly, a quote is where you start a paragraph with a > followed by a space and then the text you wish to quote: that puts the green line to the left of that paragraph alone.

If you want an unbroken line across multiple paragraphs, put the > and following space in the empty lines between as well.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
