The point is that they are moving forward on every axis of advance and not a single serious attack was repelled. Counter-attacks Ukraine declares are phony, taking place in media but not in real life. They lost air capabilities, as proven by that convoy sitting off Kiev unmolested.
LDNR reports 21,000 Ukrainian casualties on their front alone, which seems high but not impossible given the concentration of the UAF in their encirclement.
“not a single serious attack was repelled.”
Kharkiv, Sumy, Chernihiv, Kiev, Mykolaiv, etc., etc..
They have repelled Russian attack after Russian attack, until the Russians are now apparently unable to mount attacks into those cities any more.
Mariupol looks to be the last hurrah to potentially occupy before Russia has to sue for peace, as more and more Battalion Tactical Groups edge toward combat ineffective status due to accumulating losses.
Analysts are estimating next weekend for the culminating point of the Russian invasion. Time is not on the side of those Russian kids far from the border, as the anti-armor missiles by the thousands are being sent out to hunt them, every day, and every night.
