As it stands, Russian intercepted communications reveal they are so afraid to lose armor they are no longer sending out forces to recover injured troops, and Russia is now bringing in WW2 era tanks to the front after having lost more than a thousand of their modern tanks.
Meanwhile, Ukraine is still massing its reserves, which will number more than 700,000 by late June and July.
Russia has failed to take the Donbass which should have been taken within the first few days of the invasion and no longer have the forces to hold any of the minor gains they've taken over the past few days, meanwhile Ukraine continues its minor counteroffensives, even performing river crossings which the Russians are too dumb to know how to do.
I spent 33 years in the military and foreign service. Nothing you think or hope is going to end this favorably for a divided Ukraine. Putin is doing what’s in Russia’s self interest. Meanwhile the DNC and Biden have lost credibility and are driving the West into a recession. Europe will have to Live With Russia, period. The Ukraine will only be in Donbas another week before last week’s 30,000 are finished off. Keep on rooting for the Ukraine but be prepared to be disappointed. Russia will get those areas important to them. It’s all over except for Biden and Z-linsky accepting the terms of peace, e.g., stay on the west side of the river.
