This is what remains of Ukraine's most referenced "bargaining chip" for negotiations with Russia. Anyone with a modicum of intelligence could see the foolishness in that assertion from the moment the Ukrainians crossed the border. Now you're watching some of the best units remaining in the AFU being systematically destroyed while attempting to flee a pocket that should have been withdrawn from two months ago. Units like the 47th mechanized brigade publicly posting about how some of their men barely made it out of the pocket and took losses in the process. Imagine what's happening to the units that Kiev deems expendable?
This collapse also illustrates how much sharper the Russian military is compared to 2022/2023 and how they can now capitalize massively on an enemies mistakes. This is especially true when it comes to areas like Kursk where the Russians enjoy much greater operational freedom. one new addition observed in Kursk that we have rarely seen throughout the war is the use of large strike drones like Forepost. Weaker Ukrainian AD around this pocket has allowed for these systems to operate more freely and effectively. Imagine what the Russians could do to a less equipped and prepared nation right now."

The silver lining on this Ukraine, EU and NATO cloud is that the NATO nations are going to seriously rearm and perhaps form their own EU military.

Yet Russia is relying on the similar logistics used by Nazis in WWII. Instead of horses, they are using donkeys and mules.
A $500 drone killing a tank costing millions is one thing, but killing a donkey is not such a great exchange rate.

Zelensky has two choices--resign and Ukraine takes an unfavorable (in their eyes) peace deal or he continues to beg Europe for money and Ukraine loses 3ven more territory.
I hope he chooses option 1, but I'm about out of fricks to give.
Zelensky is already an enemy of Putin, and through Zelensky's Oval Office stunt, he has made an enemy out of Trump. The two biggest figures don't want to negotiate with him. He has no leverage.

I’ve said Zelensky should resign.
But there is no peace deal on the table for Ukraine to take. Now if you mean surrender, they could certainly do that; but there is no peace deal or peace plan.

Neither is there any deal for Putin to refuse, which we know he will.

Is this supposed to be some negative thing?
