And btw, if Ukraine continues to move at that pace, they will need another 8-9 months to reach the coast. Its just that their offensove cannot hold its breath that long. Nor can its soldiers. At the current rate, there will be no soldiers form ther attack brigades left in 8-9 months. Okay, black humour off. What counts is the total remaining strength of Ukraine and the current loss ratio. The rest is mathematics. Industrial war IS mathematics. Russia can afford high losses, Ukraine not so well. They feel the many lacks already now. They need a decisive breakthrough within the next 4-6 weeks, I say. If by then they still linger around with only the outpost line before the first defence line, a new round of fixed trench warfare will begin, favouring Russia. ----------- I hope that Putin stays wehre he is, and stay salive. If he goes away in any way, the risk is that he will be replaced with somebody as brutal - but of more military competence. The last thing Ukraine needs is a competent military leader in the Kremlin, a new Shukov for example.

From BBC
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-66218869.amp Writing on Telegram, Sergey Aksyonov, the head of the Russian administration in Crimea, said: "Traffic was stopped on the Crimean bridge. An emergency occurred in the area of the 145th support from the [Russia side of the bridge]. "Measures are being taken to restore the situation. I ask residents and guests of the peninsula to refrain from traveling through the Crimean bridge and, for security reasons, choose an alternative land route through new regions." This is how Russia refers to the Ukrainian territories it occupied last year - Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Luhansk and Donetsk - and claims to have annexed. Route through new regions Video of car on bridge shows damage on Front of vehicle, no other vehicles involved and close to expansion joint like it was thrust vertical in air and then car rammed into bridge section. |

The Kremlin does not extend the grain deal. This will have repercussions around the world.
The Ukrainian Defense Ministry has admitted that Russian counterattacks near Kharkiv have put Ukrainian forces on the defensive. Another top Russian general has been deposed. At the same time, a Russian airborne brigade threatened to disobey orders if they did not get back their commander, who was previously deposed. The damage to the bridge again does not look decisive. One of the two car lanes is interrupted. The other looks intact on photos (we do not know the static data). The railway bridge resumed normal operations already 5 hours after the attack. For logistical supplies, the trains most likely are far more essential then trucks. The flow of Russian tourists however has come to a halt. Maybe it was a Russian false flag operation to dissolve the 13km long tourist traffic jam they had a couple of days ago.

^ Putin reneging on the deal was to be expected and all he will achieve as a result will be to cause famine to countless thousands of people and ensure more governments who were undecided on who to support to turn against Russia.
His attempts at weaponising energy failed and so will his attempts at weaponising food. I'd love to see the free world get together for once and say 'enough is enough' we will no longer take this behaviour any longer and reinforce 'food corridors' with the strong message 'Now pee or get off the pot' Apologies for the crap source below.

I predict these countries will press for a "just peace deal" and end to the war, not caring one bit for the injustice suffered by Ukraine. The main actors India, Brazil and South Africa should serve you as a warning. There will be no global unification of resistence against russia, but more a trend of declaring Ukraine responsible for the famines. Take India. The French have just signed a big treaty for military deliveries, and headlines were printed saying that this marks an end of India's habit to buy weapons predominantly from Russia. Truth is that India still opportunistically buys oil from ussia and benefits from the - by now shrunk - price reductions Putin had to offer. India does what it always has done: refusing to take sides and choosing political actings that it thinks serves its interests best. Ukraine plays no role for it.
