The counteroffensive actions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are forcing Russian occupiers to redeploy their defending forces in the western part of the Zaporizhzhia region, where Ukrainian soldiers have weakened their defenses. This degradation of Russian military strength presents an opportunity for a breakthrough by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which could prove decisive.
Such conclusions have been drawn by analysts at the Institute for the Study of War.
I like the optimism but I’ll just wait and see.
Think of it as one of thousands of steps forward. While I would hesitate to call it decisive, forcing troop redeployments is always good and shows who is in control of the battlefield. You don’t want to be a reactionary force, is my point.
The war doesn’t end until Putin does.
War takes longer than you expect it will. Take that to heart. It will last a surprisingly long time. 4-5 years at minimum and I’m sorry to say it but at a certain point if Putin isn’t overthrown Ukraine is OBVIOUSLY going to get nuked. I fucking hate this war. Peace in the east.
