sink every russian ship in the black sea, destroy the kerch bridge(Putins pride) and take back crimea, and keep pounding the russians with artillery and long range rocket systems, and they will have to quit!
Yhru could but they only want the bit in the East that was Russian speaking.
"Typical Russian way of doing business" is an interesting evaluation, up to and including the notion of 'inching in' and 'attrition'.
Seems to me like a very effective means of training would-be opponents, of letting them know ahead of time that attrition is not an existential threat to your own people. Also, it is a good way of depriving the would-be opponent of useful information once you do improvise, once you do change your predictable "typical Russian way of doing business".
Thanks Senior Defence analyst on your good and balanced analysis.
In the first place, why would Putin think of capturing the entire Ukraine ? I would just focus my attention and take the East, since that’s where all the resources and industrial sites are. Kiev is just administration, taking it would be nothing of value. Just a waste of time and resources.

🙏🙏 victory for Russia Putin Russian army Russian ecconomy in the name of Jesus Christ! 🙏🔥
NATO and Biden are winning the war!
Don't you just love it when they don't answer the question in their own description?
20,000 artillery rounds vs 5000 by the Ukrainians. Unfortunately for the Ukrainians, no one in the west has any artillry rounds left to give to Ukraine and Ukraine can't make their own as Russia has destroyed the factories in Kharkiv. Oh, and China has quit selling artillery rounds to the USA. And it would take a full year to get National Presto manufacturing going again in Eau Claire.
It's harder to retake a city than protect it.
Ukraine to go on the offensive? If one believes that, then I've got a bridge to sell you!
Seems like the Russians are inspired by Carole King's song in their approach to armed conflict: "Killing me softly" and slowly. Man, that's torture!
The Russians have shown NATO tactics up for his useless they are.
We have to remember that UKR positions in the East were prepared over the period of 8 years and they have been largely overrun and now LNR/DPR are holding them instead. I cannot see how UKR can re-take them by force. Also a large proportion of UKR NATO-trained troops have been taken out either dead or injured and a lot of the current fighting force are conscripts. I wouldn’t be surprised if UKR army folds quicker than 2 months and what will remain is partisan war. This will not go well if it extends into winter.
Yes.
How much US bombed Iraq, Lybia, Syria, Afghanistan and the list is much longer.
No! They need a whole new army and nobody has that kind of military equipment laying around, well maybe Russia. Yes! Russia can and will take the whole of Ukraine.
Maybe if they had five years and brains. I'm not sure Putin will last that long.
When will people tired of listening to "experts". Another expert who has plenty to say that means nothing. The Ukraine military has less than a zero chance of winning. Remind me, didn't the Ukraine military have years of NATO training? Don't the Ukrainians have or had a 3 to 1 advantage in troops?
This is the exact opposite of traditional thoughts about troop numbers of offense against defense. Russia and the separatists have been annihilating the Ukrainian military. This will not change except it will likely get much much worse for the Ukraine military.
🇷🇺 Russia WILL eventually take ALL of Ukraine before he moves on to another sovereign country.
🇺🇦💗 UKRAINE WINNER 🏆🥇🌹
Boss 💥💨
Uhhh, I'm ummm, an ahhh interviewer, umm ahh, of… … umm highly umm important umm uh …
NATO should have had a plan along with preparation for the possibility of the russians invading. Ukraine wouldn't have had to be a member of NATO for an effective alternative plan to be prepared in advance.
russia, iran and china certainly will not stop until they've taken control of the entire world or been totally defeated. Know them all by their fruits.

When Russia has taken Ukraine , Moldova will be next . Than WW3 , The End of Civilization , as we know it , IMHO .
Taking Ukraine is one thing, dealing with Ukrainian resistance in the occupied territories will be a whole new ball-game.
Look what happened in Afghanistan, with all the IED's that were laid by the Taliban? I can see a lot of "legless" Russian's going home in the future?
Why not just surrender to Russia?
For what reason would would Russia wish to take the whole of Ukraine when the creation of an emasculated buffer state – the western part of the Ukraine – could be constituted
Yet he dident answer the decreption question haha
They are not firing 20.000 rounds a day atm
Your are dead right General #Tim_Cross for the analysis, for sure Russia 🇷🇺 is having all the necessities and if they deploy more than 500000 men in the field , then Ukraine will suffer
I don't think the Russians want take the whole of Ukraine.Rather the intent was to create an effective buffer zone between the Ukraine/Russia borders.In case Ukraine became a Nato country which would allow Nato to deploy nuclear weapons too close to Moscow.
The position of the west … Should have kept out … ☺☺☺☺
Since the gentleman is so knowledgeable,I would suggest sending major general Cross to the eastern front and have him win this war .
Thieves,
Russia be contented with your land.
If not the wrought of God will fall on you with fire, brimstone and sulphur.
Russia stated at the start that the military operation as to clear the province of Donbas of Ukrainian forces. A negotiated peace treaty after this is the next strategy.
Zelensky: "Our troops are fiercely fighting the Russians. We are about to besiege Kiev"
Winter is coming what will happen to Ukraine people
Highly superficial and proper info access.
The basics is right
The Russian war strategy is to first conduct an initial frontal offensive to lure the Ukrainian to the front lines. The Russians will then slowly "withdraw" and then encircle the trapped Ukrainians. This the classic Russian war strategy
