Russia is also pressed for time though as they have a pretty limited amount of money to throw at their military industrial complex. Their military budget for 2024 alone is supposedly roughly 115bn USD, and for a country with a similar GDP to Italy, that's a lot of money. Not to mention the loss of the 300bn USD in frozen assets, which made up a pretty massive chunk of their total state savings is gone and never coming back. Also couple that with the possibility of having of Russia for the first time becoming a net importer of petroleum due to ukrainian attacks on oil refineries and the added possibility of western countries applying further sanctions to close the loopholes Russia is using to sell its crude abroad, and you're looking at some serious future issues for the Russian economy, and by extention, their war effort.

The Red Army needed over 1.1 million soldiers and suffered between 177,000 and 255,000 casualties (depending on the source) to surround and take Kharkiv by siege during the 4th Battle of Kharkiv. In addition, in WW2 the Red Army lost about 1,800 tanks in the siege. The Russian Army today does not have the resources to surround Kharkiv whilst maintaining offensive operations elsewhere in Ukraine. Kharkiv city now covers approximately three times the area that it did in 1943 and has a number of satellite cities and villages that would need to be captured. Each of those is around twice the area of Bakhmut. Additionally, the cities and villages surrounding Kharkiv tend to have more difficult terrain than the Donbas cities with upper and lower parts separated by steep inclines which aids in their defence..

True, but Ukraine is getting thousands of new shells in artillery and rockets

I don't think the Russians have the capacity to take Kharkov this year, they likely are intending to force Ukraine to overextend it's already depleted force in the hopes of more breakthroughs like at Ocheretyne. Russia's problem is that she lacks both the quantity and quality of forces to effectively exploit such breaches in the line to make significant territorial gains. Though I suspect that may change if either Ukraine's military becomes too weak or if the Russians start handing out copies of Isserson to every officer Captain and above. Ukraine's big problem is infantry, they expended quite a lot of it in their failed counter-offensive last summer that petered out once they ran out of line infantry and have not ever been able to replace either the numbers or quality of personnel lost. Which is why the mobilization debate was so important and so controversial as many in Ukraine see being mobilized into the infantry as a one-way trip as there is still no end date for how long a mobilized person will serve and casualties have been horrendous. Russia's solution to this same problem was to throw money around until they found enough people willing to go over the top again and again, which works but has also had two important knock-on effects. The first of which is inflation, as these soldiers and their families are flushed with cash and pushing up prices and wages everywhere in Russia have had to be increased to compete with army pay which leads to the second effect which is armaments factories have found it difficult to hire enough extra workers in Russia's tight labor market as people are being drawn by the higher pay in the Army and private sector which has probably seriously impeded weapon production. This war may actually help Russian inequality long term as these higher wages are being paid primarily in rural and underdeveloped regions and essentially represent a wealth transfer from Moscow( and its corrupt oligarchs and Gazprom) to the rest of the country which means long term if Russia wins the war, takes Eastern parts of Ukraine with its industry and resources and has a cash rich population they may see long term growth and perhaps demographic recovery, particularly if they resettle ethnic Russians to depopulated eastern Ukraine as the primary factor limiting Russian family size has always been money.

Ukraine has seen a larger number of military age males flee the country which given her smaller total population represents a far larger percentage of recruitable soldiers than those that fled Russia in September 2022 so Ukraine's manpower problem is far more acute than Russia's which is to be expected given the disparity in pre-war populations.

The population of the city isn't going to fight, they will all just evacuate once the Russians actually come. And the Ukrainian army within the city will only have the advantage of the Russians having to travel bigger distances to get anywhere. If Ukraine can't spare enough men to defend the city, then it doesn't matter how big it is. Just because the city is 20 times or whatever bigger than Bakhmut, doesn't mean that Ukraine has 20 times as many men in it.

I'm so confused on some of these comments about taking Kharkov. The goal is to establish a buffer zone and unless the Russians start doing things that make it look like its more than that, then we should assume they are telling the truth. It's not like it will make a difference in whether we believe they will push farther but still why say something that most likely won't occur for a year or two.

This is most likely a diversion to pull Ukrainian troops away from the front lines near Donbass . Russian has been slowly making progress village by village in that area. If they are able to capture surrounding villages near Kharkiv or even if they dont they take minimal losses and at the same time stretch out the Ukrainian troops on the front.

Kharkiv is 1.4 mln metropolis - trouble to take and maintain under military control under best of circumstances. Russia lacks forces to protect rear of assult on the city, much less to carry it out. Blocked is best case for Russia. Though prevaling opinion is that goal of operation is just to create buffer zone from Belograd border and as bonus, stretch Ukrainian forces elsewhere.

From the Russian perspective it looks like this: no one is going to capture Kharkov, an offensive in the north in several places is needed to further disperse the Ukrainian armed forces. This will make the front more vulnerable to a breakthrough in other directions. Ukraine has problems with mobilization, over these more than two years there are fewer and fewer people willing to go to the front, there are many videos of how Ukrainians are forced to go to the front. It is also worth noting that the amount of humanitarian aid is decreasing; there are not as many volunteers as there were in the first two years of the war. There are also big problems with military assistance. The last time it took about six months for military aid to be approved. It is unknown how long the next aid from the United States will last. All this negatively affects the morale of Ukrainians; moods are gradually beginning to change from the desire to return the borders of 1991 to negotiations on peace with the loss of territories. Plus, additional captured lands in the north will be a plus at the negotiating table.

If I had to take a guess, I don’t think Putin/Russia would try to invade the north/Kyiv again anytime soon. Imo, I imagine the goal will be to add all of Kharkiv, Odesa, Mykolaiv and Dnipropetrovsk Oblasts (as well as the remaining territory of the Oblasts they’re currently in) to give them a solid defensive position on both sides of the river and a big land border with Transnistria and Moldova. Not to mention that those four Oblasts all have size Russian minorities in them.

In Feb. 2022, Russia was woefully unprepapred, corrupt, untrained, etc. - the Ukrainians looked like they could stop this thing. 2 years later, Ukraine is now somehow looking more corrupt than Russia, their trained and experienced guys from 2022 are probably all dead by now, leaving them with untrained conscripts, while Russia looks like it has gotten its shit together.

And now bhakmut is not important how interesting..

What would Binkov need to get the groove back that is the question

They don't have to push hard if Ukraine sent as many troops to khakiv as you said. Glide bombs, drones and artillery shells will dramatically reduce those numbers causing Ukraine another heavy manpower loss. This is dangerous for Ukraine for even having to transfer more manpower from other sides or the front lines.

You're both right. The Soviets opened a land corridor on 18 January 1943, which allowed them to transport supplies into the city, so while the city was still besieged, it wasn't totally surrounded.

Didn't Ukraine say this was just a recon force?

I don't see this Russian advance going much further. I agree that the most likely reason for the initial rapid advance was a combination of poor preparation, and the main Ukrainian defense line sparsely set up several km back from the border. With the 4 additional AFU brigades recently deployed in the area this line will freeze or the Russians may even be pushed back across the border unless Russia adds more resources.

I think the Ukraine supporters are underestimating Russia. They saw Russia's early poor performance and assumed that nothing about them would change. They forgot that its normal for Russia to have a terrible start, but once they are on a war footing, they pull off the W. The problem with all the equipment and training we give Ukraine is that it's completely dependent on total air superiority. Ukraine doesn't have that.

I find it hard to believe that Kharkiv isn’t in a tough spot when they have Russians on three sides of the city. Even if they don’t take Kharkiv, they’re still losing territory south. If Ukraine was still holding strong, they wouldn’t be trying to pass a 500k man call up for more conscripts. More than a year in, Ukraine still hasn’t created suitable manufacturing and training facilities and are entirely dependent on western support. Well, the stockpiles are spent, and it’ll take another 3 or more years to bring western production up to a war footing.

Given the size of forces being employed in this war, transport to/ from the rest of western Ukraine, it seems obvious that Russia would bypass and beseige Kharkiv and starve it into surrender. Especially since 1 million civilians are still there. Ukraine likely would have 100k troops committed to the defense. If beseiged and resupply cut by 90%, the 1.1 million would be out of fuel, food and medicine in a month or two.
