  1. Ukrainians run war like a "Show" - i.e. its not about military targets or objectives BUT on optical view of the war by general public.

  2. But neither Kharkiv nor Kherson are really of high importance to Ukraine offensive wise. They bleed out Ukrainians. We see what Russians do in Kherson - if they let Ukrainians close to the city then they are not counting on Odessa operation. The only reason to have that little salient is to threaten Odessa.

  3. End of operation by September!

  4.  @FreethoughtsOnline  Ukraine still has plenty of hand held and short range mobile systems. Also VFD units are very light - i.e. light infantry. They would suffer quite heavy losses. They may be used in this role only when certain that help will come very soon.

  5.  @Juggler4071  It was a screening force facing few brigades. Like PR victory. Russians are moving in Donbass every day forward. Today like 4 or 5 towns / villages. They are already taking parts of Severdoneck. Interestingly, there has been NO MOVEMENT from Izium. Not even one inch. No attempt to move.

  6. He wants a deal out of this - he wants NATO to pay him a lot of political tokens. I wish others in NATO were not under US boot so much & also got a deal.

  8.  @damjanm3585  Ukraine used GPS guiding to hit that bridge. So its worth while to take out these rockets as they cost a lot of $$$.

  9. In the beginning it was the Russians that made it seem a mistake in doing a political decision to try to take Kiev with a tiny force. But they shaken loose form it. I doubt it was a true fixing operation - felt more like opportunistic gamble. Now we see Ukraine doing the same.

  10. Plan D - everything else. Plan E - send NATO troops.

  12. But how can they - Turkey is 2nd largest after US - kicking them out would significantly weaken NATO - look at the map.

  13.  @SanMikeva  In Turkey's case yes, a map will tell you a lot of that. Maybe you should look at the map? Yes geopolitics is related to a map ;) I mean its struggle to control geographical regions with global implications...

  14. The Seversk, Solidar, Bahmut line - envisioned by Zielinski will all fall within a week. Battle for Sloviansk - Krematorsk line should start in about two weeks or so - unless UA forces collapse after above line is crashed. We should see a decision to be taken by Russians in three to four weeks --> what is next!?

  15. There are videos of thermobaric weapon use - hand held - they actually show clearing a room of UA troops with one. On video.

  16. The question is what will happen if they go after Iran. Will China wake up?

  17. Just to add to the distress of UA military - Russians crossed the river near Lyman and started battle of Slaviansk.

  18. Well, just call them enemy combatants and send them to Siberia. Of course this will be doing same thing as US did and two wrongs don't make a right.
