I pinpoint that as the moment Ukraine won the war. Putin's objective was to be welcomed by the Ukranians on his way to overthrowing the government. Then he could have dictated all his conditions to Ukraine: a puppet government, loss of territory, loss of sovereignty either outright or via some sort of made up federation. When Ukranians reject the invaders, rally up to their (before the war reasonably unpopular) government, rally up to their armed forces there was nothing that could be done. Russia could even conquer Lviv, go all the way to the polish border but even that was just a delay to an eventual defeat.

No it wasn`t. The Russian Army under Tsar Nicholas 2 was an even worse paper tiger than the current one. About 1.7 MILLION Imperial "soldiers" became charred, mangled, dismembered, and bullet riddled corpses under the German and Austrian weaponry. Many were sent to the front line with no weapons, food, or even winter clothing, effectively turning many of them into cannon fodder. This led to the collapse of the Tsarist monarchy and the death of Nicholas 2 and his wife and children even as what was left of Imperial Russia began disintegrating into an EVIL Civil War that killed more than 15 million people, completely exterminated the entire political structure and economy and society, and left the Bolsheviks ruling over what became a huge dead pile of debris, destroyed communities, and piles of dead bodies.

Support from Portugal to ukranians.

Now is the time to deliver more weapons to Ukraine. Do not allow the Russians to Re Group and Re Arm. Ukraine needs our help and support to stop Putin and Russia and stop this madness.

True Russian logistics were poor anyway but in Kherson the Ukranians have made it far worse by targetting the bridges and the pontoon ferries that the Russians have been using to get supplies across the Dnipro. The Russian 'genius' who reinforced the Kherson (city) side of the Dnipro without secure communications probably missed that class at staff college.

They haven't really collapsed. They weren't there in the first place in the amounts needed. This whole show has been poorly planned by the Russians. Maybe they just expected the Ukrainians to surrender at the sight of all the tanks and Russian troops? That went well. Remember, Putin said right at the start that he expected this to last just a few days. We know now that he over-estimated the capability of his armed forces by a factor of around 50.

The main lesson here I think is that conscripted armies don´t win wars. The same story as with Argentina in the falklands back in 1982, 1) Conscripts with only a few weeks of training 2) Appalling logistics 3) Fixed fortified positions that crumbled when attacked by smaller more mobile units.

I think that it was Ukraine's original plan to wait until Russian defenders got hungry and cold to attack, but the Russian soldiers aren't waiting for that. They know that supply lines have been cut and that if they don't have food and clothing by now that it's not coming at all. So they aren't going to torture themselves for nothing, they are running or surrendering while they still have the strength. Besides the TREND has already been well established, -it's OK to pick up and run, EVERYBODY has been doing it all over Ukraine for nearly a month, so why stay and die?

I thought that at the start. I assumed that there would be some kind of uprising in Russia against the war, but essentially there was nothing. Sadly, most Russians, no doubt including military, seem to have been fully behind this. I guess things might change as it becomes more apparent that the Russians are being defeated but I'm not expecting Russian people to feel anything other than aggrieved and resentful towards the West.

Its the Australian Bushmasters that are really helping with their rapid mobility.

They were given Billions and over 20 years of military training, support and economic aid but they chose tribalism, the Taliban and defeat over peace and security.

Is it truly surprising, though? For such a weirdly storied army, the fact of the matter is that, historically speaking, Russia has never managed to maintain a truly strong and competent military for any real duration, they're constantly having some debacle against some foreign force, it's why they're so paranoid about invasions in an age where wars of territorial conquest are clearly at an end. If it wasn't the Mongols and the Golden Horde, it was the Teutonic Knights, or the Swedes, or the Poles/Lithuanians, or the Turks, or the Prussians, or the armies of Revolutionary France, or the Japanese navy, or (hahaha) Finnish farmers, the Germans and their Austrian Mini-Mes, or of course the Afghans, etc., etc.. They've had spans of years or perhaps a few decades where they've acquitted themselves well, but somehow they always seem to eventually revert to garbage status sooner or later and have to start over. It's an army made largely of conscripts taken against their will and sourced from a brutal society comprised of individuals with the collective mindset of a beaten dog that, absent the threat of some truly horrific invader, is _always_ going to suffer from serious morale problems and poor esprit de corps.

When this war ends Ukraine is going to want rather harsh terms and justifiably so. The caution though is that excessive terms can lead to another Hitler, like the terms of WWI did. So we need to keep the Russian economy and military in check after this war. But we need to also permit Russians to be able to make a decent living and not try to completely humiliate them. War crimes, must however, be punished.
