Just how Putin is losing the war exactly? I'm curious to know since that's the only thing I hear since may. It seems that rather than making Russia back down, they are doubling down. This move is basically saying that we're entering a new phase: nuclear war.

They have lost more land in the last three weeks then they have gained in a some ungodly large amount of time (three months? more?). They look like they are going to lose Kherson in mere weeks at this point.

Additionally older and older equipment is being seen on the frontline every month we are already seeing armoured units in Kherson that have mostly T62s instead of the usual T72z

They pulled back from Kyiv after becoming overly stretched, then their Kharkiv front collapsed, then they lost Lyman, now they're losing Kherson. It's becoming a pattern. They've had no significant gains in a long time, only losses.
