Lmao
Russia actually primed to lose this entire war.
Do we expect any territory boundaries to be redrawn eastwards soon?
Back to 2014 borders at least
Every day it's looking more and more like Crimea might be the first oblast to be liberated.
Ukraine is working on completely cutting off the southern front from supply routes. Eventually the troops along the southern front are going to suffer from lack of supplies. Without food, ammo etc, they will be have to retreat back or be easily overrun in their weakened state. Crimea is being cut off so that if the Russian troops retreat, they head east not south.
It's not going to happen immediately, but if Ukraine keeps up the current pressure by this fall might be very interesting.
Keeping Putin safe is the only thing that matters.
Send people to the front line to be killed. No big deal.
Destroy the economy. So what?
None of that matters as long as Putin feels safe.
I don’t think there’s any way Ukraine would take Russian territory if that’s what you mean.
That would mean constant war with no end. Ukraine would gain nothing by trying to control hostile territory. And, they’d lose support from the West for any kind of invasion. Europe would be happy with just a strong Ukraine and Poland buffer.
Ukraine taking parts of Russia is pure revenge fantasy. It makes no logical sense
AFAIK Ukraine already occupies a small amount of Russian territory on the northern side, but they also lost a lot more on the south.
The west idolizes what the greatest generation did to the nazis, or another way to put it "turnabout is fair play".
Though if I recall they did that only as leverage to get their own land back. That it was easier to take Russian territory than to retake their own. I seem to remember them saying they would happily withdraw in exchange for a return of their territory. Just a lesson that Russia doesn't get to unilatterally decide where the front can't be for their convenience. It'd be a strategic disaster to "play nice" and only fight on the fronts of the enemies choosing.
I think russia can keep anything east of Vladivostok.
They can keep Big Diomede Island and eastward.
Who would want that?
