Slava Ukraini!
East Ukraine pretty soon
When your elect a comedian president, sometimes funny things happen— like Russia being invaded for the first time since WWII by the people they were invading themselves!
You can’t make this shit up
Really puts ukrains invasion into Russia into perspective. It's a tiny incursion compared to Russia's gains.
But here's to hoping it increases draws troops away from the south and allows Ukraine to push back further
I don't think this is about taking territory in and of itself. This is about forcing fighting to happen in conditions favorable to Ukraine.
Russians have to pivot forces and organize offensives against this. Offensives in new areas are harder and more complex to put together with conscripts. The Ukrainian forces have caused a chaotic situation, and they seem to be leveraging that as hard as possible to cause casualties.
This also seems to be Ukraine finding a good use for all those tanks. After the failed armored offensive early in the war, it seemed Ukraine got skiddish about trying again. This seems like a more successful use of tanks offensively.
Let's go!
