[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ukraine had better watch out for encirclement of its elite battalions on its eastern flank!

BBC News -

The chief of the Russian army says Russia will now focus its main war effort on the "complete liberation" of the eastern Ukrainian Donbas region.

The defence ministry said Russia had been considering two options for its "special military operation" - one covering the whole of Ukraine and one focusing on the Donbas.

The comments - carried by Russian state news agencies - hinted at a possible downgrading of Russia's war aims. Russian forces have met strong resistance in the north of Ukraine and around Kyiv.

Sergey Rudskoy, head of the main operational department of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, said 93% of Luhansk oblast and 54% of Donetsk oblast was under Russian control.

Russia had destroyed the vast majority of Ukraine's air force and navy, and this marked the successful end of the first phase of the conflict, he added.

However, the defence ministry did not rule out storming Ukrainian cities that had been blockaded and said Russia would react immediately to any move to close airspace over Ukraine - something President Zelensky has repeatedly urged.

The ministry also said Russia would continue its invasion until targets set by Putin had been achieved, Ria news agency reported, without specifying what the targets were.

Lol the Russians have lost Kherson and are re-deploy troops from Georgia. If the troops leave Georgia those people will revolt. The Russians are getting their ass kicked in. Their combat units are broke and can not attack or defend. This could be a total defeat with the lose of all units in Ukraine. The Russia empire is very close to open revolt. [/quote]

Don't laugh.

Encirclement of Ukraine's most experienced and competent troops in Donbas was always a risk. It's been talked about since the beginning of the invasion, when the Russians sent troops from the north and south to meet in the middle. For weeks they've been stretched thin, overly optimistic that they could do everything at once, but now sense has come back to them, and they realize they'll need to do it piece-meal. It's an acknowledgement that their original plan failed, certainly, but it's a strategy that makes sense, and Russian troops are still very dangerous if they regroup to cut off Donbas from the rest of Ukraine, and thus put out of action entire battalions of top Ukrainian troops.

I repeat. Do not be complacent! This is stage two of what could be a long war. We need to continue to send all the weapons and stuff Ukraine needs, and continue to intimidate/persuade Russian would-be allies that they don't want to be associated with a loser, and lose big themselves...

ITA. There are still many things that can go wrong. Complacency is always a mistake during wartime. [/quote]
