  12. The Donbas was always going to be lost. At the beginning of the war the Ukrainian forces were fighting like well armed mobile insurgents and were able to ambush hitting and running they weren't a static force. In the Donbas they have gone static fighting from fixed positions in trenches that can be seen from the air and pounded with artillery and airstrikes. They have allowed the Russians to concentrate their artillery on targets and bludgeon them. They can't match the Russian artillery for every round they fire they get 10-20 back their positions come under such heavy fire they can either stay there and get bludgeoned or withdraw giving up the ground. Even if they fight bravely holding russian frontal attacks the Ukrainian flanks can't with stand the Russian artillery and break which comprises their whole frontline they have no choice but to withdraw or get cut off. The Ukrainian should go back to fighting like well armed stealthy mobile insurgents hitting and running looking to continuously inflict casualties on the Russians while not providing big static targets for the Russians to pound with artillery. It will be interesting to see what tactics the Ukrainian use after the Donbas is lost the separatist forces won't have the strength to hold the whole Donbas themselves so there will need to be tens of thousands of Russians stationed there permanently. They will have to set up bases which will be vulnerable to HIMARS and M270 MLRS plus their supply convoys will also be vulnerable to ambush. Holding and controlling the Donbas could prove harder for the Russians than capturing it.
