I think it is a carefully choreography action by the Russians for Ukraine to commit it’s forces to attack the Russians on all fronts in smelling blood and victory in thinking Russia is falling apart, so to decimate the remaining Ukrainians forces before Russia goes on the offensive to finish it’s goals in Ukraine.
Do you honestly believe that? I doubt it.
It's a scenario which comes across as a desperate attempt at damage limitation. Putin looks the weaker. Historically, tending to be ultimately fatal for Russian leaders (Gorbachev/Yeltsin). The price being paid for having Prigozhin and Kadyrov running around with private armies at their disposal. Reducing the politically awkward need for more large-scale call ups.
I suspect it's more the case that the Ukrainians are watching all of this hardly believing their luck.
We already had the blood curdling "Russian offensive" warnings at the end of 2022. It was barely noticeable. In reality, the likelihood they're going to make anything in the way of significant progress was buried long ago, in their aborted approach to Kyiv. Barring a breakthrough in current events It seems to be descending into a war of attrition. What other viable option does Putin have?
LR, after 16 months of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, it seems you really do not understand what this war is really about and what the objectives are/were for Russia from the beginning, which is very evident from your constant repeated supposedly failures of the Russian military’s objectives in this conflict, because you only see things as Black & White, therefore, it’s no point discussing them with you again and again on what you cannot see.
I was busy over the weekend so I did not have much time for the news. Is the so called coup still continuing with the destruction of mother Russia into little bits yet?
Ukraine celebrates anything in the slightest as being very significant, including in taking over destroyed and abandoned few sheds from the Russians during this so called “Spring offensive”.
No look here Kikapu, you are not allowed to disengage with the lunatic like LR unless he is locked up in an asylum and his laptop is taken away. Otherwise we end up with all his drivel.
You are not being fair. You have to take a share of his crap.
