"The question to be asked is: are the Ukrainians prepared – militarily, politically, financially – to carry out months and potentially years of these (frontal assault) attacks to penetrate 1914-18 style defensive belts of tank traps, barbed wire, minefields, bunkers and trench lines? The UK Ministry of Defence has described these Russian fortifications as “some of the most extensive systems of military defensive works seen anywhere in the world”."

*******************************************

After six weeks Ukraine has had 26,000 soldiers killed and hasn't gotten within miles of the first line of the real Russian defenses, of which there are three.

This counteroffensive was a totally predictable massive flop. It will only accelerate Ukraine's collapse.

I expect the Russians to wait until the Ukes expend the last of their reserves on this foolish frontal attack and then launch a massive counter offensive. They have way more troops. They’ve been holding them back to this point.
