The post also wrote that Gerasimov's personal role as the commander of the invasion of Ukraine was characterized by his efforts to launch a comprehensive winter offensive with the goal of expanding the Russian army's control over the entire Donbas region (Donbas) in eastern Ukraine.

But as 80 days passed, it became increasingly clear that the plan had failed.

On several axes across the front lines of the Donbas battlefield, the Russian army paid tens of thousands of casualties and made only negligible progress, largely wasting the temporary numerical superiority Russia gained through partial mobilization orders last autumn .

The Ministry of Defense also said that after 10 years as chief of staff, Gerasimov may be testing the limits of the Russian political leadership's tolerance for failure.
