If they want ANY chance of winning they must commit wholesale.

Form up a full armored division and 5 supporting mechanized brigades. Form a wedge and push through.

They must do this right away. Time is wasting.

[Westbrook]

They have no chance at all of winning.

The Russians would nuke them before letting that happen.

[canuck_conservative]

actually, abetter way would be for Ukraine to revive the guerilla-style Partisan Campaign of WWII

fast hit-and-run sabotage operations all over the place, taking out critical Russian infrastructure and personnel, can do great damage and are almost impossible to stop (as the Nazis found out)

they’re also great morale-killers ... this war wasn’t too popular among Russians to begin with, and partisan warfare would really de-motivate the Russian troops (and public)

plus, it’s cheaper and doesn’t cost as many Ukrainian lives, while stretching the conflict to years, which slowly strangles Russia’s economy as it remains shut out of Europe’s oil markets ...

“win-win”!!

Apparently Russia isn’t “just a gas station with nukes.” I don’t think that this will end well for either the Ukraine or NATO. NATO is proving worthless to America and fatal to the Eurotrash.

We keep hearing they did not commit the reserve forces so maybe they plan a large attack once they’ve had enough of this probing forward.

My concern is they may not be using the mechanized forces properly meaning moving them quickly enough around positions. But maybe the initial defenses don’t allow that.

Advice from their advisors…..

“Move out and draw fire.”

U.S. says Ukraine counteroffensive could be long, and at a “high cost”

...sluggish progress results in increased casualties

Just curious, how many casualties so far?

[PGR88]

“Therefore, it is imperative for our military and political leadership to carefully consider these issues, assess the advantages and disadvantages, and muster the courage to take decisive actions,” Yakubets said.

Well, hope he get paid well to show up with his briefcase and spout inane expositions.

[rhinohunter]

it will take us decades to liberate our territories

Which will mean a decades-long stream of U.S. taxpayer trillions with 10% to the big guy(and his beneficiaries).

So pretty much all by design.

[Mashood]

The Ukrainians are too busy burying their dead.

[Organic Panic]

I think Ukraine’s only chance is Russian morale. How many Russians really support this or even know what’s going on? How long will Russians support a draft for this “special military operation?” What is Russia fighting for that they could not have simply negotiated? But of course. This is the most profitable war in history with 10% to “The Big Guy” and his cronies.
