They only had one shot at the Capital and they fumbled it rushing in too soon. This is why they've been reduced to fighting out in the fridges of the country with their back practically against their own border.

Right, I thought it was apparent the further Russia gets from their border the more compounded their resupplying issues get. That, plus a denser urban environment that allows ambush tactics, gives Ukraine the advantage the closer you get to the capital.

Even if Russia eventually secured the Donbas - which can happen but definitely not a given, it will be hell for Russia to hold it and will require a massive amount of resources to occupy long term. I think the rule of thumb was one soldier for every 40 or 50 citizens in an active insurgency. The Donbas region has 4 million people - so Russia could need around 100,000 troops just there to hold it while they try and annex the region (which could take YEARS).

Russia is dealing with the “simple” part of the Eastern invasion right now.

Why do you think the Donbas is going to be hard to annex? This is the same region the Ukrainian government has been bombing for the past decade because of their Russian support..

Supply line is issue. Well they couldvve started.north invasion instead of east, but they wanted the resources and Russian speaking territory. Well they'll gradually move west, pancake efdect. It will get easier as to they go. Might be a chance at a northern front as well.

 

[shotemoffgp]

They already have 20%. I think 40-50% in a month. Ukraine will be on the ropes by then.

Africa is surrounded by oceans. Even n in a drought, fish should be plentiful. I think I heard Ethiopia is at risk of a shortage. I'm pretty sure it borders the pacific.
