The voluntary evacuation of Kherson has been completed. I assume that this translates to the civilian part of the evacuation being completed. The second, military one, may take place soon too. Nakanune: In the Kherson region, a mass evacuation of residents has been completed.
Russia refuses to to fly inside enemy territory. Aircraft loss must be too high.
No blitzkrieg? Mechanized loses must be too high.
Guided artillery sparingly used. Artillery barrage is the only thing holding the line on both sides.
No sign of any war industry. Literally using up stocks. Over-Reliance on private industry and promises to ramp up existing production that probably only exists in the first place for the export market.
Non-stop desire to negotiate.
Existential war that’s not existential enough to try to overrun the enemy.
Unfortunately the current prognosis is allied forces desperately need to break the enemy through manoeuvre warfare, because they can’t face a reinforced enemy. Unless they get on their knees and start begging for negotiations, plausible at this point, then Russia is forced to counterattack. The electric grid is being hit for this reason. So any territory is technically open to surrender to get a better foothold. To say this is modern warfare would be insulting, I’m surprised they’re not reintroducing bayonets. How tragic what has been done to Russia. Thank God Ukraine is the most corrupt place in Europe.
I think they are there until they can't keep it anymore if that makes sense
It's becoming clear that Odesa is a pipe dream its about 130 km from the Dnieper to Odesa in a straight line.
Of course its not a straight line they would have to take a large part of the north of Nikolaev & Odesa into the hostile anti-Russian ethnic Ukrainian big land maybe up to Kryvyi Rih or allow a very difficult to defend northern flank, as if defending the land part of the Zaporizhzhia oblast wasn't hard enough.
It gets worse if they try for a land bridge to Transnita 250km from the Dnieper with an even longer land flank. Also the Odesa oblast goes deep in the SE near Romania, are they really going down there? near the US 101 airbourne & NATO with non-Russian population?
They probably looked at all this & reached that conclusion.
This is all the result of allowing the village idiot in charge back in the 90`s, the Ukraine crisis has been a slow moving car crash ever since, absolutely inevitable.
Putin did his best to mitigate things, but enemies waited patiently to act. He couldn't stop the time bomb that was set from 1988 -1999
