For those who understand the basics of attrition warfare, the outcome of the fight in Ukraine was obvious a long time ago. Russia's superior logistical position along with its grinding offensive tactics have worn down Ukraine's defenses and left the country with a desperate manpower shortage. The recent capture of the vital hub of Pokrovsk has now opened the door to an accelerating Russian advance.
The Russian offensive is gaining significant ground from Pokrovsk to the north, all the way to Kupiansk. The strategic city of Siversk is now largely under control of Russia according to geo-location mapping. Myrnohrad, also near Pokrovsk, has been flattened by artillery and FABs.
Ukraine's ability to stall Russian forces is faltering, allowing the Kremlin to move troops in a swift manner closer to maneuver warfare instead of the slow and methodical process of attrition. Ukraine continues to deny they are in trouble, but the writing is on the wall.

Except it's still not fully in Russian hands, and the Ukrainians cut off and surrounded the head of the Russian column advancing into Kupiansk.
I'd almost say Trump's "peace deal" has suckered the Russians into squandering the reserves needed for a winter offensive.
Europe can do what they want, as long as America is not paying for it.
Let Europe face the consequences of paying for a long war with Russia.
They need that grift to continue.
Screw Europe. We should not risk one American to save their sorry azzes.
The majority of people in Europe are also fed up.
The idea that Russia is ‘winning’ is a complete falsehood... They are losing and they will continue to lose. Screw a peace deal... Let Russia continue wasting their equipment and resources fighting an unwinnable war.
Then NATO can just swoop in for a clean up operation and we’ll make Russia a truly free country for the first time ever, with Russians actually joining in for the overthrow of their current tyrant. Free Big Mac and a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken to every Russian who helps to ouster Putin and his cronies.
You-Rope is quickly being overtaken by Islam.
Russia is not really a threat to them.
IBTZ!!!
Nevermind... they have alreay attacked.
The euros have been arrogant parasites on the US Taxpayers for many decades. Many US military have given their lives for them.
Let them pay their way for their pathetic military and their phoney socialist societies.
Enough is enough.
Weren’t the Ukrainian Partisans saying just a couple of days ago that Pokrovsk had been retaken by Ukraine?
They even posted a picture from the Kiev Post showing Z in front of the city entrance sign?
The also said about two weeks ago that Ukraine had launched an airborne assault and driven all Russian out of Pokrovsk. And with that claim they posted video of the helicopter assault.
Are you telling us they were full of shit?
No insults just a different opinion
Surrender is not peace
As for superior logistics, I don’t see that.
Food exporter to food importer
Fuel exporter to fuel importer
Oil revenue (which is Russias revenue) crashing
2nd largest weapons exporter to weapons importer
Large national wealth fund to debt and printing rubles
Coal industry failing
Steel industry failing
Farm industry failing
Can’t protect petro infrastructure
Can’t protect shipping
Can’t protect industry, heating and power plants
Aircraft falling from the skies without any help
Rail industry, Russias largest employer laying off people and looking for a bailout
……
Serious issues that Russia has no answers for.
And yes I know Ukraine is being attacked and they have serious issues, but this wasn’t supposed to happen to Russia and Russian citizens a not prepared for what this winter will bring
Similarities to 1990s and 1917 are significant
Correct, Putin wants nothing to do with dying Europe.
Perhaps, but listening to RT I see plenty of threats being made
Let the EU bear the cost of its interventionist approach — because the Marxist/Islamic/LGBT EU is our enemy, not Russia.
Trump has clearly exposed that the EU globalists and neo-marxists (particularly in the UK) wanted this war all along.
What Americans really should worry about, and focus on, is that we have a very deeply embedded group of Atlanticists and 5th columnists buried within the DC deep-state, who willingly followed the Davos/UK satanists into this war, even to the extent that they worked with MI6 to engage in non-stop lawfare and color-revolution against Trump.
DC is full of foreign-controlled traitors in our midst - NOT controlled by Russia or China, but by the highly organized globalist ideologues of Brussels and London.
“Then NATO can just swoop in for a clean up operation ... “
lol heh hmmm
Don’t quit your day job.
Get your story straight, not pokrovsk but kupyansk
Sigh
Perhaps pitin should ask his generals who assured him kupyansk was taken
“Are you telling is they were full of shit?”🤔
