It looks like it's coming down to a war of attrition that could last some time. The big questions are how long will the west fund Ukraine and what will be left of the country that is being pounded every day?

Donbas and Lugansk are practically a done deal. Add the rest of of Zaporozhiye, Odessa and Nikolayev and then it is time for Ze to give up. If not, Harkov and Dnepropetrovsk wouldn’t mind to get liberated. If it doesn’t work, the return to Kiev at full force. The rest is up to Poland for grab.
