Before it was a pile of rubble it was a fortress city preventing the Russians heading north to the Donbass border. Now they can and are.

@cIoudbank That's the idea. Once these areas are secured they will be rebuilt, as is happening in Mariupol and other places captured by the Russians. Their value is in their strategic positions and potential - not in what they actually have before they are taken.

@cIoudbank The Russians are almost certainly going to outpace Ukraine now. As with a great many wars the loser will be the one which runs out of supplies first - and at the moment that looks like Ukraine.
