The Russians so far are having supply chaoin problems. Some armoured olumns have run out of fuel.And when they stop they are vulnerable.

The Ukrainians have been blowing up vridges, and when the Russians are stalled the Ukranians are attacking their flanks, blocking the columnes by exploding both ends and then picking the rest off bit by bit.

The Russians have lost 3400 dead according to the Ukrainian charge d’affairs in Ottawa. Thats more than Russia lost during their whole Afghanistan campaign, and in just 4 days.

No, if Russia wants Ukraine they will have to bring in the heavy artillery and go scorched earth.They will have to kill women and children as well as civilian fighters in mass genocide reminiscent of what the Nazis did to Ukraine in 1939. The Ukrainians are not going to give up.

The Russians can win this, But it would be a phyric victory. There would be next to nothing left.

“...in mass genocide reminiscent of what the Nazis did to Ukraine in 1939.”

Stalin was first, he killed about seven million Ukrainians in 1927.

As I've said elsewhere, most of Putin's official reason for going in was to remove the "Nazis" that took over leadership of the country, to save the Russia/loving populace from them. If he starts hitting civilian structures and infrastructure willy-nilly, that undermines the whole reason he officially went in there. I don't see him doing that, not too excessively, anyway.
