Being told this is fairly reliable for info on the situation in Ukraine. let me know if it isn’t. https://liveuamap.com/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine#/media/File:2022_Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine.svg
Ukraine is being steamrolled in a manner similar to the gulf war. Russia will take the entirety of Ukraine.
Remember when we wrapped up the Iraq war in 2 days and not almost a decade?
Also, Russia has been purposefully restrained. Only a small portion of its lines have attempted to advance and they’ve focused on bombing military targets with old tech. They also claim to have waited most of yesterday for talks with Zelensky that didn’t pan out (that one’s difficult to verify).
Arguably a bad decision because Zelensky is arming civilians for a suicide mission rather than surrendering to an overwhelming force.
no, I think whats actually happening is russia crippled ukrainian cs4isr and the main russian forces are literally undetected by the ukrainian army. There were russians popping out of nowhere at Lviv, which is in westernmost ukraine.
The Russian restraint has been great so far. I absolutely expected an American style ‘guns blazing kill everything that moves’ doctrine.
