What will happen next. The offensive will continue. In order to somehow counter this, the Ukrainian Armed Forces will also try to build up a reserve that could stop a major Russian offensive. Russia now needs to attack in such a way that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are forced to constantly use reserves, at least partially. .....
The main direction is direct front line with the goal of convincing the enemy that if Russia attacks a certain area of ​​the front line, then it must be surrendered while there is at least someone alive there.......
The second part of the air offensive is attacks on energy infrastructure and decision-making centers, which we have seen in the last week. After the end of the air offensive, reserves will be introduced in the direction of the main attack, and within a very short period of time, 24-48 hours, the war will move into the maneuver stage...all the efforts of aviation, all its reserves will be brought to bear on the destruction of communications, so that the Ukrainian Armed Forces will not be able to quickly transfer troops in conditions of a breaking front.
Ukraine badly needs tanks. That's a fact.
But it is also a fact that the number of tanks Ukraine has today - about 1000 - is the same number they had when the war started.
Russia has far fewer tanks today than when they launched the war.
And that's probably the way things will remain for a long time. Russia cannot replace the large number of tanks and equipment they have lost, but they cannot run over the Ukrainian army without them.
It's about the same with artillery. Ukraine was short of ammunition at the beginning and is short today, while Russia had plenty of guns and plenty of ammunition, but according to Newsweek has lost 6300 artillery systems.
Both sides are now over-using their systems and are suffering breakdowns.
Ukraine will be getting new aircraft.
Russia will not.
Russia is losing ships that cannot be replaced.
Ukraine is not.
Russia is turning the lights off in Ukraine.
Ukraine is shutting down refineries in Russia.
Zelensky says Ukraine could lose without US assistance. I don't really believe him. He would like more assistance, sure, and maybe he'll even get it, but I don't think the outcome of the war hinges on US assistance. It really hinges on how long Ukraine can resist.
Good to see we still have adults in the room that don't want to see WW3.
Smart man. We owe nothing to Ukraine, which I must remind folks, interfered in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Ukraine isn't a part of NATO. I back Ukraine's right to defend itself, but don't think that American taxpayers should foot the bill. Simply put, it's not our fight, and--similar to the German Chancellor's position--aiding Ukraine here is needlessly escalatory (and merely delaying the inevitable).

Charles Lindbergh and the America First Committee were making similar statements in 1941 about Nazi Germany. I guess you would've also supported their position.

Zelensky is hardly fighting Hitler in Germany.
That's about as far fetched as one can get to support him.

Without support from USA, Canada, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, France, UK, Ireland, Belgium, Netherlands, Poland, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, Czech Republic, Croatia, Portugal, Greece, Italy, Spain, Israel, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Japan and some others, Zelensky would be remembered about as much as Ignacy Moscicki. Who, you say (because you do not know)?
Ignacy Moscicki. The President of Poland who received no help when Germany invaded Poland in 1939. No one remembers him now and Germany was allowed to run amok because he was advised not to resist. He ran and hid. Died in 1946.
He wasn't really much of a dude.
