Comments by "Anders Juel Jensen" (@andersjjensen) on "Three ways Ukraine can win the war" video.

  1. Option "1.5 which quickly leads to 2": 1) Ukraine keeps the pressure on to force the current "kinda stalemate" situation. They focus on minimizing their own losses while making life as hard as possible for the Russians. The "Punch where it hurts and duck when you can" approach so to speak. So they keep going after high value targets like ammo depots, fuel depots, the most expensive equipment and command centers. 2) While this is going on the intelligence branch focus on getting as much accurate info they can. Pester/barter/plead NATO to give them direct access to as much high-tech satellite live-feeds and AI target detection capability as possible. At the same time they wait for more supplies of, and training on, NATO equipment to build up strength for a series of well planned and coordinated counter offensives. 3) When the time is right they launch a series of spear-head counter offensives, breaking thorough the front lines with armour in multiple places, long range artillery strikes on anti-aircraft installations, air raids, and heavy shelling of any fortification/trench system they think they may have a good chance of piercing. The offensive will need to retreat after a few days to minimize own losses, but the point is to cause as much loss of life and injure as possible in as short amount of time as possible. 4) The Russians take heavy casualties in both personel and material in a short amount of time. The Ukrainians retreat the spear heads to the previous lines before Russia gets a chance to properly flank them or otherwise react to the development. 5) Russia is left wondering when this will happen again, while body-bag after body-bag is sent home. 6) Ukraine starts preparing to do it again, and make it blatantly obvious that they will continue with effective and coordinated hit'n'run until the Russians are sick and tired of it all. 7) Either 2 or 3 happens after one, two or three rounds of this treatment.

  2.  @anderspuck  Thanks. I was just playing "Warhammer 40K" in my head while I wrote it :P The value of "a false offensive" should not be underestimated. Breaking through lines with all your might, at a few narrow points, followed by a short "blitz krieg" jab into the occupied territory to cause havoc where you can, only to "run back home" as fast as you can as soon as the enemy starts regrouping, can score you a lot of hits for comparatively few losses. And I think the Ukrainians could play this angle with great effect. They have demonstrated that they're clearly superior when it comes to intelligence, coordination and communication.
