'The President'

Page Number 1917.

How apt.

Well Russia engaged in as a full a scale of war as it can muster to take Ukraine, so presumably they consider all targets & tactics fair game.

Ukraine on other hand, fighting back with considerable help but with hands a little tied for political considerations. Limited themselves to a few attacks on military sites inside Russian border. I'm sure there's many Ukrainian citizens baying for a few reprisal attacks on Russian towns and cities by way of retribution.

"President Putin".....President Putin?

I know that's technically true, but it's been a while since I've seen that monstrous cancer onto the face of humanity be referred to on here with a title that would make him sound like some kind of statesman.

"President" is the title a democracy ideally gives to a person who has the consensus of the electorate and will do their best for them. It's a title that has taken a lot of abuse in the past few years alas.

In fairness, getting rid of Donegal mightn't be the worst! Always contrary up there when it comes to referendums and have a big bill in the offing for 'restitution'. We could hand both problems to the Brits.

But back on topic, depending on the winter in it and current progress towards Kherson, I think we could see a slow strangulation of supplies to and bombardment of Crimea. It might be easier to make progress in that south & south easterly direction.

Was a similar (edit: no, worse I think) head-melter (or at least head-scratcher) in another of Pa ElGrande's posts, about Putin and Biden's "terms" of office as if comparing apples to apples.

You are all over the place.

It appears that Ukraine has air superiority in more places these days than Russia, which is a big turn of events.

A lot of your post is off the cuff with no facts to bear.

The thing is, Ukraine has more time in Kherson than Russia. If the winter sets in, how prepared are the poorly trained conscripts willing to freeze when they are low on rations, winter gear and ammo?

Russia seems to be losing a lot more jet's lately. Either they're taking more risks to support troops or Ukrainian air defense has really improved.

I used to look at the Kherson battle and think Ukraine should try take the north and north west first before encircling the city for an attack.

But the Russians seem heavily dug in all along those lines with big numbers. Maybe it's better they instead focus on a direct breakthrough from the south where there's the least distance to travel. Maybe attack the city first before worrying about the north.

I'd imagine the issue is the open fields gives the Ukrainians narrow paths to move through and if they move in large numbers but get help up for any length of time they'll get bombed to bits from Russian artillery on the other side of the river.

Also, if they drive anything like their Russian neighbors, a very common occurrence. Do a YouTube search for Russian driving, and you'll start to wonder why they even bother with traffic lights....or road markings even...

I think retaking Crimea will be quite far down the road if it ever happens. It's taking quite a long time to make inroads on the Russian positions on the right bank of the Dnieper and they have had limited supplies for the past 2 weeks. If and when they do retake Kherson, I just can't see them undertaking a crossing of the Dnipro when they can achieve similar results by attacking overland south of Zaphorizhia. Although, the Russians will have that part of the front well fortified, it would be much easier to break through the lines than to attempt a crossing of the Dnipro further south. There will be long battles to secure Melitopol and Berdyansk, before heading west. Only then might the Ukrainians contemplate a river crossing in order to split the Russian forces and draw some strength from their front lines. And even then, they might never attempt it.
