Have ww been seeing the results of hundreds of thousands of conscripts mounting the winter offensive by Russia. Stunning. I will admit offensive is much harder than defense and much more costly, but I wonder what a mechanized thunder run type offensive will do to Russian positions. Logistics seems to be an issue for Russia. A concerted attack on rail and key infrastructure towards the rear of their lines could have serious effects on an already strained and limited supply network.
As always time will tell. A long and protracted Donbas style stalemate probably favors Russia, but if LOC are cut I can see another gesture of goodwill by Russians and then they will raze everything they surrendered
“but if LOC are cut I can see another gesture of goodwill by Russians”
Cutting the supply lines should be high on every Operational planners checklist. I don’t see how a plan could get approved without addressing that. I guess it boils down to how much resources are provided to do it.
Russian lines of communication are long in Zaporizhzhia and Kherson - it is a long way to run back home.

Most of them right now are attacking in the Adiviika area - which is grossly under reported, if any where - there are ongoing tank and armored vehicles battles right now.
