.....the yellow and blue Ukrainian flag kept flying above its main official building as part of life under Russian occupation....
.....the flag flying above us is Ukrainian,
..... Ukrainians say the Russian hold on these cities has been incomplete and that the occupiers have shown little sign they are equipped to run them, or interested in doing so.

It looks like the Yanks and the Ukrainians have been caught being naugty.

It seems like the drone technology has renderd tanks and other ground weapons useless. Drones wil l take some beating unless they come up with someting to spot them before they get into range
Although that may not be a good thing because then missiles are going to be used far more.

The situation on the ground so far:
On the East:
Donbas/Donetsk/Luhansk under Russian control from the very first days
On the South East:
Mariuopol (almost fell and in ruins), Berdiansk, Polohy, Melitopol,Zaporichia (nuclear plant), Kherson under Russian control. Mykolaiv encircled. Nothing yet in Odessa
East central Region: Kaniv Hydroelectric station, South Ukraine Nuclear Plant, Dnipro town and Zaporizhia town. Nothing yet.
On the North East: 6 major cities only Konotop in Russian hands. Kharkiv, (1.4M population) Sumy, Okhtyrka, Chernihiv, and Kyiv (3M population) still standing.

Looks like the Russians will finish the job within a few days in the South East and also take control of the East center.
What will be left are the 5 major cities at the North East. First target might be Kharkiv.
I estimate the Russians would need another 2 months to take this half of Ukraine.
Probably they will leave the West to the Belarusians.

And this will conclude the partition of Ukraine.

...more for the record; i'll include this video.

He comments on China's efforts presently, and Zuckerberg's, expressing how cynical such leading "influencers" are. Beyond the horror itself, 'these' horrors (to come).

...good news he says, the Brits still prefer to stay out of the EU.

I don't think so on the north west of Kiev is the dead area of Chernobyl, basically the Russians would need to control the capital and a good part of land on the west +all east and South East.

I am actually revising my deadline for this operation to minimum 4 months.
If you look at the map and the size of cities, the Russians have undertaken a HUGE task. Odessa itself is 1 million. Mykolaiv and Mariupol half M each. Look how much ammunition they spent on the latter which still demonstrates some resistance.
There's a high possibility they would not be able to continue this war because they would run out of ammunition.

Also the population of Western Ukraine was always hostile to the Russians, even before 1900.
