Unfortunately, they have been making territorial gains this year. They pay for each metre with horrendous manpower losses, but life is cheap in Russia and they have demonstrated they are more than willing to keep this up.
IMO the gains are quite small, and the meat, again IMO, will not last forever.
They seems to use even more meat and less vehicles, so maybe they are in shortage there too...
Also, the ruble went down the toilet, it lost 3% in the last 24h, sitting at 104.3 ru/$ and I don't think it will stop at all this time. Economists predict the crash at 120 or 130 ruble per dollar.
It seems like it all comes together.
