No a war isn’t over when the enemy reaches your city. Not if your city fights.
The Ukrainian cities already are devastated and they probably figure the military might as well stay in place and fight.
We get no detailed military info from any source left or right, so I couldn’t tell you if the city’s going to fall tomorrow, or if the defense is so well laid in that the Russian army can’t afford the losses.
Supposedly calling for Syrian fighters is a sign of desperation and that Putin doesn’t want the Russian losses.
Nope…
Once you are surrounded you are now dealing with a siege. At that point it’s a war of attrition….
Sure you can resist and engage in asymmetrical actions, but end game never changes.
Once you are under siege, the only way it ends is those under siege surrender, or they hold out long enough for reinforcements to arrive to break the siege…
There are no reinforcements coming for UKraine in this war…. The cities can resist, but lack of supplies, food, medical care, sanitation… they can’t win.
Idea that Russia is going to run out of ammo is comical.
