Sure and the same British media reported on March 15th that the Russians could only fight the war another 10 days.
This is utter horse sh#t.
Russia is grinding down the Ukrainian military in Donbass. It has absolutely no chance of surviving unless it surrenders. The Russian flag is going up throughout the region and local currencies are being converted to rubles.
The only complaint in Russia is that Putin isn't destroying the Ukrainian army as fast as he could be in an effort to minimize causalities.
Ukraine will be a rump state after this is over and, probably, and landlocked rump state.
I could say the reverse is true also. Almost two weeks of new offensive and the Russians have advanced a few kilometers at a very heavy cost. Most of their gains were in a pocket of the Luhansk oblast east of Izyum between two rivers that the Ukrainians had lightly defended. Now they're fighting against multiple lines of defense in depth in Donetsk.
Meanwhile the Ukrainians stopped conscription a few days ago because they had enough volunteers, and many of the troops who joined after the war started should be trained and equipped now. They also claim to be advancing toward Kherson.
Can the Russians win by cutting off the Donetsk salient and keeping Ukraine from cutting the land bridge to Crimea? Maybe, but it's too early to tell.
I am curious, are you Muslim like the majority from the city of Kazan in Russia, or are you Kirill’s ROC?
