There’s a new Ukrainian offensive in the south near Kherson, with the potential of trapping thousands of Russians on the west side of the Dnieper river - there’s only one bridge left for them to escape.
Ukraine doesn’t have the gear to go on offense. Ukraine is getting just enough aid to keep them afloat and defend. That will allow Putin to keep the stolen Crimean land bridge while freezing the conflict again. Putin must be allowed to declare victory and “save face” you see. That what the Soros EU types like Macron and Scholz are thinking, anyway.
