Ukraine decided to walk into Russia at a place where the border is not protected very well
Time they get what they deserve. Sucks to suck Russia!
My theory is they plan to flank the entire front line by going through Russian territory. Then use the occupied territory as leverage to get reparations from Russia, as well as a peace treaty obviously.
I doubt it. If I were in their position I’d just try to disrupt the supply of logistics to the front and do as much damage to the economy as possible. Once the oligarchs start suffering then they just get to sit back and watch the chaos. Doing a large push is needlessly risky. They have the advantage and the initiative, and they should take it, but there’s no way they have the logistics to the rear to seriously push.

While it’s fun to dream, I think foreign troops advancing on Moscow is something that actually might get a nuclear response.

That’s pretty serious if ukraine is holding the town. They can mob up to the west and create a true wedge, put artillery in range of kursk, and hopefully push east to dismantle russian defenses from behind. This is bad bad bad for russia.
Russians seem willing to flatten Ukraine with artillery to capture things I wonder if they will be as willing to do that on their own territory
I believe I saw a story about a Russia state media person proposing using tactical nukes on their own territory. I don’t think they actually would, but Russia may… Let the enemy group up in your own territory, and nuke it… other than humanitarian concerns for their own citizens, other countries ability to complain would be dulled if they were nuking their own internationally recognized territory.
Honestly, probably a great tactic to act as a deterrent in future wars (such as with the US).
I’ve caved by the end of this message… no sane person would, but I wouldn’t call Russia’s current government sane.
More victims of Putin’s war. I fell sorry for them, but I hope they understand who made it happen.
