All articles will require a short submission statement of 3-5 sentences.
Use the article title as the submission title. Do not editorialize the title or add your own commentary to the article title.
In this community we encourage long, in-depth submissions. Submissions should not be news articles that merely provide quick updates on current events; instead they should include background information and an explanation as to why the events they describe are occurring.
Submissions should not be about an individual country's domestic policies. Instead, they should be about relationships between different countries and/or relevant international organizations. Things like breakaway politics are permitted in this subreddit, as they are relevant to and could affect the geopolitical system.
Submissions are strongly encouraged to come from reputable sources. When posting from a lesser known source, please check whether the authors have some sort of qualification demonstrating they are knowledgeable of the subjects they discuss.
Sources that include (or solely contain) maps, statistics, or other multimedia (videos, interviews, primary sources, etc.) are permitted and even encouraged in this subreddit.
We encourage discussion and welcome anyone to pose hypotheses and ask questions. We allow self-posts.
We encourage comments to be cited.

Thanks for explaining. Is it because it is urban warfare? What has Ukraine done well to get that ratio? It's a bit of an ask but would you know an article /resource that goes into it that is not from a transatlantic bias ie supportive of Russia in the is war but has good critique on their warfare?
Defenders advantage mostly. Its balanced by the fact Russia can strike pretty much anywhere in Ukraine and kill troops in there beds 200 miles away from the front while Ukraine cant do that.
I haven't really seen a lot of good analysis from articles, but I've found this channel has been fairly decent at explaining the tactics and strategy from both sides. And while his style is flippant, he does seem to have good analysis. https://www.youtube.com/@historylegends/videos
