Good thing for the Ukies no one with any sense believes this. If they did they’d say, “ Guess the Ukies don’t need any more aid.”

The Russian have used such tactics before, that when a position becomes militarily untenable, they withdraw, leaving behind booby traps and snipers. They then announce that it was their plan to do so all along, that the opposition has suffered severe losses, and that the lost territory will soon return to Russian control.

Someone should tell The Clown Reznikov about the Sevastopol Naval Base.

Putin would be finished if he lost Crimea. Dead. Can’t imagine he would rule out a tactical nuke if it came to that.

This approach worked very well at Kherson.

Cut off supplies through high tech interdiction. It’s a modern approach to siege warfare.

Crimea would be a step up from the Kherson bridgehead, but not out of the question, if the Ukrainians get to Perekop and the Azov coast, and the sufficient supply of long range munitions, like GLSDB.

What he describes is a fight. They are going to blow up bridges, roads, and stop supplies from coming in.

‘We will take Crimea without a fight’, says Defense Minister Reznikov,

War is funny.... all the planning, propaganda, alliances, intel, logistics and tactics.... have one thing in common in all wars.....

The enemy gets a vote in how it turns out.

Cut off Crimea, attack into the "heart of Russia", threaten Putin's allies, friends and family members of his advisors.....even kill them... but always remember that the doorway goes both ways.

Poland, Baltics, Moldova, Finland and Germany better hope that Russia just decides to just stop and NATO/US decide that maybe a non-truce truce that makes a buffer around Russia is a good idea.

China can broker the deal, split the rebuilding money 20-80 with American Politicians and everybody will be happy...... except for the 100s of thousands of families of Russian and Ukrainian dead and wounded soldiers. What a waste....

I doubt Ukraine will take Crimea that easily. However, when Ukraine does go for Crimea, the Russians are not going to fight like its the Battle of Moscow either.

Reznikov is speaking hyperbolically as leaders in war usually speak of victory. He also knows more than the rest of us.

Russia is attacking places where logistics allow it to attack, not because of their value. That means Russian logistics everywhere else, at the front lines and behind, are mediocre at best.

Any breakthrough in Russian lines could lead to a collapse in that area, just as what happened in Kharkiv and Kherson.
