Ukraine's Offensive at 1 Month - Losing the War of Attrition Update on the conflict in Ukraine for July 3, 2023:
- Ukraine’s offensive reaches the 1 month mark and has made relatively little progress beyond the security zones ahead of Russia’s main defenses;
- This is mainly owed to Russian mine fields and Ukraine’s inability to clear them while under fire;
- Ukraine’s artillery shell supply is limited, the longer the offensive takes, the less ammunition Ukraine will have to support and exploit any breakthroughs that do occur;
- Mounting Ukrainian losses mean that any achievements made during the offensive will be difficult to consolidate no matter where on the map the offensive ends;
- Unable to breach Russian defenses, Ukraine and its NATO sponsors appear to be exploring “alternative” options to change battlefield dynamics including continued attempts to accuse Russia of planning to destroy the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant;
- Ukraine’s artillery shell supply is limited, the longer the offensive takes, the less ammunition Ukraine will have to support and exploit any breakthroughs that do occur; The Ukrainians fired 140 rockets at Belgorod over the last 24 hours.
140 less rockets to support the Ukie cannon fodder going into the Russian guns.
Pray that the Ukie cannon fodder doesn't suffer too much without that critical artillery support.
Apparently, the Ukie Azov guys who are running things would rather get up to a little terrorism, instead of supporting their guys on the front line.
I guess it will be time to send the rear-echelon Ukie muscle out on some press-ganging operations pretty soon.
