re: The Official Thread: Russia invades Ukraine

well, we'll see what happens in the next few weeks as the Ukranians appear to be shifting towards offensive operations. They took back a good chunk of land around Kharkiv today and if the momentum continues, they will push Russia back to the border in that area.

Kharkiv is the 2nd largest city in Ukraine so it is a high-priority objective to push Russia out of artillery range to end the shelling of the city.

Russia has its arse in a crack, it doesn't have enough troops on the battlefield, and it doesn't have the ability to raise, train and equip enough troops in time to make a difference. The troops it does have on the battlefield are undersupplied, lack leadership, and suffer from major morale issues. Ukraine is gaining strength every day. It's just a matter of time, the only real question is how far can the Ukrainians push them.
