Now its a Russian Land Grab. The more they take—the bigger “New Russia” gets. The Ukrainians know they have lost and their will to fight is sapped. The Russians will advance until the cease fire starts. Watch, they will go for the big cities now.
They are circling Pokrovsk now.
My recollection from 1953 when cease-fire negotiations were ongoing in Korea, the Chinese/NK forces were constantly attacking trying to move the front (38th parallel) south.
