All these updates are incredible, I mean it's amazing what the AFU has really shocked the entire system with this invasion/incursion, but ..... and I know I sound like a wet blanket bummer guy, however are they going to be able to hold this territory with the 100k Russian Army attacking in Ukraine proper, seems as if the Ukrainian Russian Expeditionary Force is seeking to do as much damage and cause as much embarrassment to Putin as they can, but to what end. It all just feels like prelude to a massacre, which being of the people of Masada, I get wanting to strike a blow before the end, but I hope it turns out better for the Ukrainian forces than it did for us versus the Romans.
Embarrassing Putin, opening up a new front and gaining a valuable piece of territory for potential negotiations for the return of annexed Ukrainian territory.
Not to mention the morale boost to Ukrainian troops.
I hope it turns out that way, it's thoroughly enjoyable to watch, but it's felt like watching a suicide run
War is just a series of suicide runs.
