Underestimating the capacity of the Enemy is always a mistake.

Putin made this error, NATO made the same error.

Ukraine hides their losses. This is a waste of men and materiel for a non strategic thrill hoping for more handouts from the West.

But the West isn't giving them more highly trained troops or under trained Expendables either.

When the incursion gets closed off in a Kessel they will all Die or get captured.

Just a Waste...

Of Men and Machines.

For Nothing...

Also the Ukrainians are committing war crimes in Russia, shooting and raping Women, and burning monasteries and homes.

If they take the nuclear power plant it's going to get Very Ugly.

Just the Ukrainians showing themselves to be just as Savage as the "Orks".

This is looking more and more like a Battle of the Bulge type thing.

Ukrainians pushing deep into the Russian borderlands but in a narrow expanding front.

They could be slowed and gradually pushed out or encircled and Annihilated

Either way I see no clear path to this going anywhere strategically.

They are raping and murdering pregnant women,that's been documented.

They also are burning monasteries and looting private homes.

Like undisciplined criminals.

They could conceivably hold out for a few weeks but it won't amount to much.

It's Just making it easier for Putin to get fresh volunteers to fight the Nazis.

The outrage in Russia over the War Crimes is Extreme.

Risky?

It looks like pure desperation to me. Like when the Germans attacked in 1944.

Same outcome too most likely. Best case they hold the area and create a case for land swaps later but that's unlikely.

More likely, this is the last Hurrah for Ukraine.

After this they will be deleted and in disarray.

War is uncertain so anything could happen Though.

High risk High reward operations, suggest the Ukrainians know they are reaching the end.
