I hate to see Zelensky using his people as cannon fodder to keep the cash flowing. And sooner or later his continuous shelling (I know, our resident warmongers want to claim the Russians are shelling their own positions) of that Russian occupied nuclear power plant is going to have catastrophic results.
Madness.
1sr..the Ukrainians should have started this offensive WAY before now. They no longer have the available troops to continue.
2rd. The Ukrainians need to drive the Russian army back over the river...and as above, I dont believe they have the ability to do it.
3nd, The Russians got themselves into a bit of a pickle for a while here. They have the river at their backs.
4th. If the Russians were really serious about that side of the Dnieper, they should start even larger offensives in the rest of the Donbass and take the pressure off that theater of ops around Kherson because the Ukrainians havent the troops to fight a multi front.
The problem I see here is that they are trying to get control of Odessa and the region. Why would anyone want to try and directly control that place when you can control it by simply controlling the east side of the river. Of course they’d like the whole of The Ukraine.
It boils down to these.
