If you were keeping up with the weekly or daily frontline reports one thing would jump out:
Russia is destroying each of the linchpin Fortification Hubs which NATO supervisede construction with interlocking fields of fire. Russia is simply continuing to maintain pressure in those areas.
After the destruction of a major defensive point, Russia moves to destroy another one. Currently, Russia has destroyed three of the six major frontline fortified cities.
Ukraine has burned up all of their Strategic Reserves to hold lines that Russia is ONLY Pressuring with constant contact and minimal gains.
Russia is not going to effect a breakout of the entire frontlines until July or August when another 250K augment their lines from training.
Ukraine is losing 35000 men a month and intake in 15-17000. Russia enslists 25k a month, they sign 35000 volunteers a month.
Those slow Russia gains are by design. They are applying constant pressure across the entire front lines. Ukraine is running around like Chinese firefighters trying to put out small bush fires here and there.
Ukraine is going to crack and when that week comes, they are going to see 25% of the landmass between Kiev and Russia lost in a collaspe of epic size.
I think Ukraine will see 75,000 men surrender when Russia begins moving thru Ukrainian lines in 4 places at once in July, and their KIA will be 175,000.
Zenlinski’s failure (Biden’s failure to speak) to talk with Russia or Putin simply means Putin isn’t going to pick up when the battlefield is settling old scores.
In six months, Kiev will be in Artillery range of two advancing Russian Corps.
“Those slow Russia gains are by design.”
Sure. Just like the “fake” 40 mile convoy to Kiev...
