Putin will be happy for Ukraine to withdraw into fortified positions in the west. Europe will continue to buy Russia's petroleum products.
I seem to recall you saying Ukraine was winning the war and soon would push Russia back to Moscow.
Perhaps the Ukrainians are going to attack the Kherson "flank" in Kharkiv.
Thanks for providing your diagram of how Ukraine attacks Kherson via Severodonetsk.

Would make one hell of a target.
Using the Rosgvardiya to supply manpower, bringing in tanks from the 60th and scramling the eastern europe to find shellings and utilizing the Belarus military equipment. They are scramling.....Leaning on the Belarussians to supply ammunition for Russian forces is odd.
They must be running low. Read that planners never get the ammo/fuel mix right.Leaning on the Belarussians to supply ammunition for Russian forces is odd.
This all part of a long term plan with Russia and Belarus. Putin has drawn Lukachenko totally under his wing. Talks of nuclear weapons going to Belarus. Closer military ties. Belarus is practically Russia now. Putin has had plans of Belarusian soldiers serving in Russian guise for a long time now.Using the Rosgvardiya to supply manpower, bringing in tanks from the 60th and scramling the eastern europe to find shellings and utilizing the Belarus military equipment.

Yeah sure. Russia is exhausting itself, remember they have a GDP that is less than 40% of that of Germany but double the population. They have 15 times the population of Sweden but only 3 times the GDP... Compared to the US it is 7,5% of that of the US… Beside that the corruption (most extensive in Europe) eats into the states gaining’s. Sanctions or not sanctions, they can't afford to build up what they are losing. If the war continues a year or so and they keep squandering their recourses the way they are at the moment, they will be as much a military superpower as Lithuania. There will also not be any Rosgvardiya left and the country will be free for the taking for their citiziens.This all part of a long term plan with Russia and Belarus.

Nothing, it will make it easier for the Russian people to depose of Putin.And exactly what is wrong with that?

That guy needs at least two missile hits to sinkIt’s on now!
Vlad has gotten serious, finally! This guy will literally eat Ukraine’s lunch!
Obese Russian general, 67, called up to fight in Ukraine as Putin 'scrapes the barrel' - Democratic Underground Forums
www.democraticunderground.com
Source is very suspect, only found any like stories in the UK tabloid sheets.
If the barrels get worn out, accuracy goes to hell, the projectile wobbles in the air.They must be running low. Read that planners never get the ammo/fuel mix right.
NATO Intel does not have accurate numbers of RU ammo reserves - artillery/tank
I have seen photos of fields with hundreds of craters from RU artillery attacks
They are burning thru stocks.
Next thing is barrel replacements - tank/artillery
As the barrels wear accuracy is sacrificed (not sure on that)
Not sure if a badly worn barrel can have a shell explode inside the barrel?
I have seen multiple reports of RU air lift coming from Syria. Many ME countries purchased Russian kit
While they have made modest gains in the east. Russian losses had to be severe.
Possible that UAF has significantly impaired Russian ability to mount offensives.
In the past month or so, Russia has improved their ability to combine air/land assets
That said Russia appears to not have the ability to manage a large offensive
When they take Donbas, I think Russia will dig in
Hopefully UAF receives more HIMARS as they are deadly and highly accurate.
Taking RU artillery out of the mix is critical for any UAF offensive, which I think will happen first in the Kherson area
It is becoming clear that Russian assets are substantially depleted, from soldiers to kit
NATO has to up their game before public opinion on the costs affect support
Read that a fair number in Italy/France/Germany want this to end even if Ukraine loses territory
At the same time, a few dozen commandos from other NATO countries, including Britain, France, Canada and Lithuania, also have been working inside Ukraine. The United States withdrew its own 150 military instructors before the war began in February, but commandos from these allies either remained or have gone in and out of the country since then, training and advising Ukrainian troops and providing an on-the-ground conduit for weapons and other aid, three U.S. officials said. Shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine in February, the Army’s 10th Special Forces Group, which before the war had been training Ukrainian commandos at a base in the country’s west, quietly established a coalition planning cell in Germany to coordinate military assistance to Ukrainian commandos and other Ukrainian troops. The cell has now grown to 20 nations.
You are reading all this shortage stuff from whom? What actual signs do you see of these shortages? This stuff has been said for months yet Russia is out shelling Ukraine by a factor of 10.I think all of that will cause Russia to lose the war
