It does appear that if Ukrainian forces in the East face betting encircled, they need to withdraw to me defensible positions before that happens.
If they do, can they deploy enough heavy weapons in time to stop the Russians?
No idea.
Certainly they’ve done great at terrible expense,but can they win long term?
I’ve always thought that to actually defeat Russia, Western forces from other countries would need to intervene.
“Defeat Russia” was always a Western wet dream—total insanity—wacko propaganda.
