This battle map is from the pro-Uke website Liveuamap.com

Yeppers. From this pic you can definitely see how the Ukes are encircling Bakhmut!

When the main offensive comes, it’s very possible that Ukrainian forces will break through in certain areas. They might capture some territory [...], but it’s unlikely that their gains will be sustainable. The offensive will probably peter out as Russian forces gradually grind it down.

Author of this article is apparently using a "Magic 8-Ball" to write it!

The West can’t afford to give Ukraine much more weaponry [...]

"Objection, Your Honor! Counsel is stating facts not in evidence!"

[...] and support for the war effort is declining.

In Russia, to be sure!

We’ll have to see what happens.

The only sensible statement in the entire article!

Regards,

A cease fire. Trump says he can end this, let him suspend or drop his campaign, let Biden ask him to go and secure a ceasefire and peace.

Not gonna happen. Biden has graft type interests in Ukraine and does not want Trump anywhere near them.

Actually you can’t. Ukr is attempting to encircle Bakhmut in a wide double envelopment. Only the norther arm might enter that image somewhat. IMG-8584

Only China and perhaps Turkey will win this.

Those are two strong plausibilities. I'm also rooting for Poland and Hungary. Those guys are actually civilized.
