Okay, but where are the encirclements? Russians preserving their forces in a successful retreat is not a desired outcome when Ukraine is unfortunately losing so much in this offensive, leaving them vulnerable when mobilization units come.
In war its often difficult to complete a full encirclement where the enemy is completely cut off and surrounded, but if you can threaten encirclement and force the enemy to retreat that's effective as well. In Izyum and elsewhere the Russians left behind alot of supplies and equipment so even if you don't get enemy troops you can at least get some of their equipment.
And with regards to the mobilizing troops, it remains to be seen how well they will do at the frontlines or if they're going to be used behind lines. Having more bodies isn't always a good thing unless they're well trained and equipped to fight and help, otherwise you simply increase the pressure on your logistics with relative little benefit other than having warm bodies to take a bullet for you.
The Russians have already shown to have major difficulties supporting even a couple of hundred thousand troops and now during mobilization it doesn't even look like they have enough supplies to properly equip those new recruits. So lets see what happens in the coming weeks when they have 300,000 new men that they need to support in the field and how they will do it.
Ukraine hasn't retaken much land either, 30km in Kherson is less than a 20 minute drive. The media talks big numbers, but if you pay attention, the military support they've been receiving is less and less.
Are you kidding? The Ukrainians have taken back a fair amount of territory and more importantly taken back towns that have important road and rail networks which of course are vital to moving troops and supplies. Its funny how during the past several months with Russia's Donbas offensive when they were plodding their way forward making modest gains, the pro-Russian folks were saying the Russians were doing great. But somehow when the Ukrainians are taking back alot of what they lost in just a few weeks its seen as no big deal? OK. 🙄🙄🙄
Lets just put it this way. If it were the Russians who were making this amount of gains and it were the Ukrainians retreating and giving up all this territory, all the pro-Russian hacks like the Duran would be jumping for joy and jizzing all over themselves seeing the advances of Russian forces and would be saying the UA forces are on the verge of collapse and that it was nearing the end for them and so on.
The offensive is not sustainable and will ultimately leave them vulnerable when mobilized units come?
You make it sound like the Ukrainians also don't have more NATO trained and equipped reinforcements coming onto the battlefield in the coming weeks and months too. I'll take them over whatever reinforcements are bringing any day.
