The litmus test that a city is preparing for an inevitable siege isn’t just the columns of smoke rising on the immediate horizon, the artillery blasts, or the enemy surveillance drones hovering overhead: it is above all the fact that it’s rapidly emptying out its residents. The NGO Proliska evacuates 200 people from the area every day. Vans, cars, and families loading their belongings onto carts leave for Dnipropetrovsk province. The number of refugees fleeing Dobropillya has multiplied fivefold in two weeks, according to Proliska.

Attrition leads to collapse of lines, an old Russian war method that still works. We all tend to obsess over the land. The land comes easily and with fewer casualties once the defense is broken through attrition. That's what is happening now.

Yeah, the Russians also defeated the Nazis by overwhelming them with multi-pronged attacks all happening simultaneously, and I think that when Russia feels Ukraine is too weak, they’re going to do that to the Ukrainians.

They have 3 major cities partially surrounded and will probably try to take all three and rush on from there. Those motorcycle squads they’re sending out are very effective in dealing with the small squads of defense the Ukrainians have put out.

So Ukraine is still winning but needs another 50bil from America to keep it up?

When I worked in Reno/Vegas around 1980 there were card sharks who always just needed one more loan to make their fortunes and retire for good.

A big push by M4 armed Zeepers should turn the tide

The Ukraine army isn’t retreating - its just advancing in the opposite direction.

Little z has plenty of additional people to get back all of the Ukrainian territory lost to Russia since 2012 or so.

So, what stopped him from doing so, when the EU and US gave so much help?

Maybe it was stupid to have banned 26 and younger men from fighting, for most all these years.

The longer the Z guy waits to end this mess the more of Ukraine that will become part of Russia. You’d think he’d catch on.

I think he’s a potted plant taking orders from a back room. He’s not expert on war, the military, economic factors, etc.

He’s a mouthpiece.
