  1. Well, the Ukrainians were trying to destroy the dam and flood the whole city. So Russians made the prudent decision to fall back behind the much more defensible river line. So defensible that even the video acknowledges the AFU needs to take the long way around.

  2. How would they besiege the peninsula? With what army and equipment? And are we to assume Russia will just sit back and do nothing?

  3. Ukraine didn’t win Kherson or Kharkiv in battle, the Russians simply withdrew. Whenever the AFU runs up against an actual Russian mounted defense, they have never succeeded. So they are not taking Crimea, the most guarded area of all.

  4. And what mythical means would Ukraine achieve this? Summon the LOTR ghost army? Gundams?

  5. No, the Ukraine survival thing is still a thing. Nobody takes Ukraine regaining Crimea seriously.

  6.  @bobbybrown1258 those were not local collapses, they were controlled withdrawals. A total collapse would be having thousands of your best men surrounded and captured, like in Mariupol.
