Unreliable source. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SouthFront
Love how the map legend says that red should be russian controlled area… and There are no red areas.
„Let’s give those meat assaults a try, take 100 vehicles and push pointlessly across the border until you’re all dead“
Okay 👍
Coming from mordor, it’s totally BS.
What’s the strategic objective here?
Russian COPE
Haha. Are the losses listed actually the ruZzian losses?!?
Why are they expending valuable manpower on this offensive mission when they’re losing ground in the south?
It’s much more challenging for russia to shift logistics and combat troops from their current concentration to this extreme area. This allows Ukraine to target the lines of communications, while weakening the intensity on the primary fronts. This also expends significant fuel and transport resources, which are being regional targeted.
Additional impacts of significantly increasing the size of the front, while moving the battle to locations in which Ukraine’s defences are much stronger. This also places some of russias more capable forces on the opposite side of the front, creating significant logiatics issues. russia must decide whether defending southern front is as important as defending their home.
It also now shifts the narrative and breaks the ignorant bubble for the russian population. The lopsided nature of all damage happening in Ukraine and russia only suffering loss of their lowest class of citizens and a handful of facilities ia no longer relevant. Now the North Koreans who will be in the rear building defenses and rebuilding infrastructure will be faced with actual combat. Once NK is engaged in battle, this enables NATO to put boots on the ground.
Not to mention with a high probability that Trump will be defeated in US elections, support for Ukraine is pretty much guaranteed.
