Hmm. I don't know where they're going with this, unless it's just to as a morale booster for them, and a trust killer for Russians. Ukrainians cannot hope to hold any asset for long, because they do not have the manpower to secure a supply line from Ukraine. They can disable a power plant, and then leave the mess for Russians to sort through, while they rush back to Ukraine. It would still be a big blow to Russian vanity and sense of security.

They hold and fortify this? They can get Putin to the negotiating table.

So let me get this straight. The gas depot supplies gas to the pipeline that goes through Ukraine and supplies gas to Ukraine's benefactors in Europe? So now Ukraine can cut off gas supplies to Europe and they couldn't before?

It looks like Ukraine has committed about 10,000 troops so far, including some very experienced brigades. It's clearly more than a hit and run operation. Russia may have to construct some hard defensive lines and effectively cede land to Ukrainian forces. The question is will Ukrainians capture the Kursk nuclear power plant. It would be a tit for tat situation since the Russians took over the Zaporizhizhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine in 2022. In any event, Ukraine has certainly massively increased its leverage in recent days.
I sure hope Russia doesn’t erase Ukraine
