Making the Case: Ukraine Stays Fluid

There’s no need to rush at the moment

Three hundred vehicles and counting in Avdiivka. Nine helicopters that played a crucial role in electronic warfare in Berdyansk airfield. Five fighter jets in ten days. The rate of vehicular pain experienced by the Russian army in the last two weeks is agonizing.

I wish Wagner Chief Prigozhin was still out there riving into the Russian high command. Every now and then, he would inadvertently reveal Russian casualty numbers, which were often closer to reality. Sadly, we are not privy to private information anymore.

The rate of vehicular losses suffered by Russia would have dragged Russian casualty numbers along with it for a wild ride. Putin’s army does not design vehicles to protect their crews; they build them for maximum destruction, both inside and outside.

The Russian counterattack in Avdiivka and the Kupiansk axis will soon lose momentum. This leads to the inevitable question: Should Ukraine launch an offensive against the Russian army, punching a hole and driving a mechanized column through it?

Nope. Absolutely, not.

Am I saying, Ukraine should slow down their offensive operations?

Nope. Absolutely not.
