Though I don't see any potential means for a counter-offensive due to the Muscowites having dug in --> except for Crimea which is a potential areA, IF Ukraine gets a naval landing capability.
The Dnieper River will be a very major water obstacle for rump West Ukraine to attack across in 2025.
Ah, the Dniepner river bridges- a great puzzle most discussed by world strategists….many theories, those Westerners unfamiliar with Russian tactics scratch their heads.
Those familiar with Russia’s methodical methods suspect exactly what has been happening. At one point, Vlad’s own offensive will draw a bulk of Ukie western forces across the Dniepner to reinforce and counter- at which time a number of the 14 bridges will be destroyed, effectively trapping them- welcome to yet another Russian Boiling Cauldron…..
Vlad did just that back in 2018 or so, the Azovs ( Nazis) were drawn in en masse near Lughansk Donetsk, the DPR/ LPR/ Russian advisors sealed all retreat avenues and trapped 8,000 of them….Merkel intervened and negotiated for their withdrawal….a big mistake by Russia, tricked, again.
