“Very impressive and hard fought victory for Ukraine. The big question now is whether Russia can withdraw without taking heavy equipment and personnel losses. Ukraine has every incentive to make this withdrawal as chaotic and costly as possible.”

Peter Zeihan today says the Russians will be leaving lots of weaponry behind as they withdraw and the Ukies pound them with artillery in the next few months. I posted his video today in the morning.

Those new and renewed Russian trenching efforts in Northern Crimea. When the Ukrainians get close enough, the Kerch Bridge will be within HIMARS range. Doom on you Russian invaders!
Lots of interesting info here. Regarding the Kerch Bridge, last I heard, one or two of four road lanes were usable, and one of two rail lines was usable for passenger trains. All heavy trucks and heavy military supplies were being shipped by large ferries. If this information is still correct, then I would be targeting the ferries at dock so as not to sink a large number of civilians. Let the bridge continue to be used to enable the people living in Crimea to escape. Since Ukes are likely to attack the water and roads at the north of Crimea, the bridge should remain available for the population to escape. In earlier comments it was stated over 2 million are in Crimea, but without Dnipro River water Crimea can only support 700 to 800 thousand. Practicalities and humanity support letting the population escape, as does targeting ferries at docks rather than in travel.
