Hard to get reliable information regarding this war. If however the Ukrainians were unable to take advantage of the unique opportunity of the “Kherson bridgehead”, then they really have no realistic chance to win. The Russians had 25,000 hard pressed, poorly supplied troops with their backs against the Dnieper with the bridges cut. They had no reliable means to resupply, reinforce or withdraw. Yet somehow they seemed to have won. Seems like a repeat of the Battle of Stalingrad.

Don't be so quick to buy into the propaganda that Russians are "running out of supplies". We've been hearing that for 6 months.

Interesting you put it that way.

The Germans were completely flummoxed by the Russians ability to keep up the grind. They just kept coming, no matter how hard you smashed them.

As it stands, Russians have the cash, fuel and support of the people.

Only if your source of information is Russian propaganda.

Watch and see what actually happens.

Cutting the bridges certainly makes resupply more difficult. But what the Ukrainians (and our resident globalist warmongers) don’t seem to understand is that with the Russians controlling both banks of the river RESUPPLY CAN CONTINUE using ferries and barges… and it is.
