The Mariupol pocket is about to be split into two smaller pockets. The lesser of the two pockets to the west is essentially finished. They're literally being pushed into the oceans while air strikes and ships target them simultaneously. Afterwards the larger pocket will also face a similar fate.
Latest Ukraine map from yesterday. Russians are slowly but steadily making progress. They have sustained significant material losses, but most of those losses were in the early stages of the war when they attempted a swift and precise decapitation of the Kiev government. Now Russian tactics have shifted. They have settled down and are now ruthlessly bombing Ukrainian targets into oblivion
Those who believe that Ukraine is winning this war... I just can't agree with that looking at the bigger picture. 1 of every 4 Ukrainians are now refugees or intern/ally displaced. Their cities are quickly being turned into rubble. I mean it's not like people in Moscow or St Petersburg have anything to worry about do they ?
So Russia has lost something like 20 fighter jets and 250 tanks by now. That is significant but remember Russia has 500 Flanker variants and another 500 jets made up of other other variants. So 20 out of 1000 is not going to stop Russia. Also Russia has 2000 T-72 tanks alone. They have another 1000 tanks on top of that and if neccessary they have 10,000 tanks in storage.
For their own good the Ukrainians should negotiate and agree on a a peace treaty, the sooner the better. Sometimes you just have to cut your losses. If they would have agreed to Minsk, they would have been able to keep the Donbas but simply offer them language rights and autonomy. Now as it stands they've lost Crimea, the Donbas and the Mariupol. The next major target will likely be Khakiv
