RE: withdrawal from eastern Ukraine city.26 Jun 2022 10:14
Still taking an overview of the conflict and trying not to become emotionally involved its clear that one sides tactics are certainly paying off and they are making steady and sure progress on their objectives.
Just not an easy answer to massed older style bombardment and high amounts of firepower, regardless of the cost to humanity.
Some pretty factual reports out that some crack Ukrainian units have had losses approaching 80% of their strength, and hurried in replacements lack experience so will suffer more in future statistics I'm afraid.
Don't think we are very far off a point where the attacking force might settle, whether Ukraine will agree is undecided currently, but failure to do so may prove much more costly in the long run, due to the facts below.
Ukraine now broke as a nation, and asking for handouts and has has all its infrastructure smashed, where as Russia has all its still intact, and has more income coming in from the Far East (new trading partners), than before the conflict even started, so is currently in a completely different position. So sustainability of the conflict on one side is crystal clear to everyone.
Seems Boris who is struggling for distractions for his own double standards is the European prime agitator against Russia, and other nations are very hesitantly backing him knowing its the wrong call, but wanting to pretend solidarity with him.
Think reason will shine through soon enough, its certainly the main cause of extortionate price increases here.
