This spatz gal is crying out for attention.
There is absolutely NO doubt about that. The only question is, how many more Ukrainians must die and much more territory will Ukraine lose before it is forced to surrender.
U can bank on that. But skip the sirloin. It tasted better pre-scamdemic.
Lets see - Russia has annexed, officially, Kherson. It is “part of Russia”. The Ukrainians took back the whole west bank plus its capital. Is there any possibility that Russia can conduct a massive river crossing battle across the Dneiper?
There is plenty of doubt that the Russians can hold their land seizures. They have indeed lost land, and this was only two months ago.
They can send cruise missiles and drones.
These can only hit fixed targets because they are guided by the Russian species of GPS or inertial navigation.
This is not effective at interdiction of road or rail traffic. You can target a location, road or rail, say a bridge, but you cant target a convoy. And the Russians have targeted bridges, but apparently can’t hit them effectively with their cruise missiles, as they gave up. And for the most part road or rail damage is easy to repair or work around.
For effective interdiction you need real time targeting and attack, which means aircraft overhead, as in the 1991 “road of death” in Kuwait.
And that aircraft overhead thing is what the Russians can’t do.
Tells us all we need to know about her loyalties and her motives.
Good one! 😁
The Russians would “destroy the Ukrainian military” much faster if the Russian Airforce could actually attack the Ukrainian military, where it matters, in its logistics. But they can’t.
The slow grind does not minimize Russian losses. They are reduced to this because they cant do anything else. This is a bad way to destroy an enemy. The idea that Russian casualties are being minimized is a fantasy. For one thing the enemy gets to shoot back, and the Russian artillery and rear areas are a rich target.
The proper, classic military way to do this is to break through, turn their flanks, surround them, or force them to retreat and destroy them on the roads through pursuit and air attack. This is exactly what the Ukrainians have done to the Russians in the Kherson offensive. But the Russians can’t do that.
