Beware the Finnish drive on St.Petersburg! lol
You guys are utterly delusional.
Every Russian officer is trained in how the Battle of Stalingrad was won. The German 6th Army was encircled. Food cut off, in winter. In just a few weeks they were too weak from starvation to even attempt a breakout. A few weeks after that roughly 250,000 troops surrendered and were marched off to POW camps, where cannibalism held sway. The war ended 1945. So many lives were lost at Stalingrad that the Soviets would not release them until 1949, and the senior German officers . . . not until 1955.
Kiev will run out of food. There is no need to advance and send troops door to door. They are encircled and the Russians will probably encourage more Ukrainians to travel to and join the defense of Kiev. It would increase food consumption.
Then, soon, they will be told all the food they need for the city’s children is just minutes away. All they need do is overthrow the government, or have that government surrender.
This is textbook stuff from Russian military academies. Celebrating their “failure” to take cities is just absurd.
