    They are not able to win. This is just sending more 10s of thousands of Ukrainian lives to the slaughter.

    Ukraine are upwards of 10 -1 outgunned in Artillery. They do not have air superiority. 90% of there regular forces are now killed or Injured. They are relying solely on dwindling NATO mechanisms, that they do not know how to fix when it breaks.

    The Poor Ukrainian men are being fed into this slaughter.

    Russia have committed 15% of its regulat Armed forces to this operation. 15%.

    The other 85% is being held back, I'll assume in case NATO decides to escalate.

    Ukraine have been utterly demolished with 15% of Russian Milirary, regional militias, and other international and domestic volunteer brigades.

    It's to late now for bravado. Confidence and ego. The War is lost. We need a sensible peace treaty now and to de-escalate before something truly silly happens.

    Ukraine needs to attack both of these strategic targets at the same time, then see which of them Putler tries to defend,

    The chances are that he will try to save his main supply route into Crimea, but this would also result in him losing control of his “Special Operation”, and risk a massive counter attack on Kherson by the Ukrainian forces,

    If he decides to defend Crimea and Kherson Oblast, then he risks losing his main supply line into Ukraine through Crimea,

    Either way he won’t have the resources to save both,

    The magical mystery Offensive in Kherson that will never happen.
    Russian forces are moving in relation to campaigns to capture other smaller positions that surround the main , better defended targets. its standard tactics from the russian military. What you think , or at least claim, is a stalling of Russian forces is simply re deploying and re positioning of their various forces to this end so stop bullshtting and be subjective

    There is three possible scenarios for the damaged airfield:
    1)Ukrainian Special Forces.
    2)Inexperienced and negligent Russian troops.
    3)Russians who are sympathetic to the Ukrainian cause.
    At the start of the war, there were protests against it that were brutally repressed. Are there Russians who openly support the government but covertly willing to rip its guts out. Putin partially turned Americans against the USA. Maybe he's inadvertently done to Russia too.

    if the ukrainian army in the remaining donetsk region can hold off the russians like this.
    and the army in the kherson region can retake kherson that would be a major victory the ukrainians need as we saw from videos the starting days of the war the poeple in the city are openly against russki occupation

    so if the ukrainians take kherson back that i think will be a turning point in the war but i also think this will take a long time before they take kherson let alone crimea

    So, you mentioned that bridge between Russia and Crimea… That sounds like it may very well be a future target. Id love to get some vid discussin the potential of such an attack and what wud be the likely defensive measures taken and whether or not such is possible given this airbase bein targeted.

    I suspect if Ukraine has any hope of takin Crimea back durin this war, they will have to destroy that bridge or at the very least theyll have to blockade it after havin fought thru all the soldiers comin over it… Which is a much costlier offensive than destroyin the bridge wud be.

    There is nationalism in every country, there are nationalist movements and associations, and there are also in the Russian Federation. The question is why Vladimir Putin is not fighting these movements in his country, or is he not going to attack China, Belarus and Mongolia to fight this evil there? As you wrote to me so seriously that Vladimir Putin does good deeds, sees evil and fights evil, I laughed at it;) (A089)
