“We will now hold an important referendum in which the citizens of Sudzha will vote whether Vladimir Putin should: 1. Get fucked, or 2. Go fuck himself. Voting is mandatory.”
I know we are all happy Ukraine taking land like this, having some military success. I don’t want to be a downer, but it’s also a liability taking land you have no desire to hold. Sure I understand all the benefits of this, absolutely. It’s great success. I just hope it translates into frontline changes where it matters more.
Russia may be forced to remove troops from ukraine to liberate russian land. I don’t see how it’s bad for ukraine
It’s good, it’s great for Ukraine if they do. If Russia finds resources somewhere else, this could end up being a pointless excursion.
If Russia had those resources they would already be using them to end a “special military operation” that has now been ongoing for nearly three years…
Maybe. On the other hand, we have seen that Russians are slow to learn and adapt, but in the end they do.
Everyone learns as time goes, Russians AND Ukrainians. Everyone has to adapt their strategies sooner or later. It’s the reality of war.
Russia is using this territory to shoot missiles into Kharkhiv. At the very least, it’s creating a “buffer zone” to make it harder to shoot into Ukrainian territory. Believe me, the Ukrainian military knows way more than we do and are at a way better position to make decisions than you and I are.
