As usual, ‘HistoryLegends’ does an outstanding job of going beyond mere day-to-day reporting of a single day’s events and, instead, OBJECTIVELY, analyzes Ukraine war developments over four to six weeks. This approach yields the most accurate, complete and realistic picture of the current direction of the war. He also attempts to inject a little humor to relieve what is otherwise a wholly GRIM descriptive report.

Marching “on” Moscow, or marching “triumphantly through” Moscow?

Outside observers are necessarily at a disadvantage in understanding what is going on between Russia and Ukraine and tend to interpret events according to their preconceptions.

As a matter of tactics, Ukraine could be making withdrawals as part of a mobile defense or defense in depth to draw Russian forces into the open where they are more vulnerable to attack. At times, German generals during WW II used such tactics to great effect against the Russians. Then and now, Russian army cross country logistics is weak and prevents deep advances in force.

In addition, Ukraine may be giving greater priority to attacking Crimea than defending areas of less strategic importance. The loss of Crimea and the surrender of the forces there could prove decisive against Russia. It would give Ukraine a major territorial victory and the possession of tens or hundreds of thousands of Russian prisoners.

By way of analogy, if the Germans had captured the British army at Dunkirk, Britain would likely have been forced into a peace deal on Hitler's terms. With the most capable elements of Russia's Black Sea fleet sunk or hiding in port, their forces in Crimea are stuck with little hope of evacuation if they are defeated.

Isn’t that the Forrestal from the 1960s?

Shouldn’t you have looked into it before trying to push this anti-America propaganda?

Who gave that fake story to you, what are the origins of it?

I heard the Russians were using inferior technology. But spearheads?

Is this the 10th century?

Thanks for sharing the latest Russian propaganda talking points.

Russia's attempt at a second attack near Kharkiv seems to have ground to a halt about 7 miles inside the Russian border. And a lot of Russian soldiers died in the attempt.

Sadly you are wasting your breath. The usuals here talk of failed marches on moscow(funny the only failed march on Moscow was by Russians), about failed offensives, mounting casualties, poor training ,nuclear war…

Your comments regardless are valid, but will be disregarded and responded with hyperbole.

After Over two years into the war, at least one full scale mobilization, a continuing hidden mobilization, vast recruiting of mercs, and a looming actual mobilization we hear of great Russian advances that have gained hundreds of meter. state of the art AD defense systems that take out missiles by jumping in front of them, massive assault waves of 2-3 vehicles led by tanks with galvanized chicken coups attached to them,and venerable t-55s leading the charge with their fellow octogenarians d-20/30s providing cover fire if their barrels don’t explode from NK shells.

2nd greatest military and now economy of course/s
