"Much HIMARs" can't help here.

Russia controls less Ukrainian territory than it did in March and April, and managed only a .3% gain in June.

Russia is never taking Odessa.

That whole 40KM-long Russian column achieved its aim: Drive many Ukrainian forces from South and East of Ukraine. Cities like Mariupol, Kherson, and others were seized because Ukrainians tried to defend Kiev and poured huge resources to it.

You need to understand that there is no timetable on the Russians. They'll take Donbass. They'll seize South, including Odessa. And they'll open the corridor to Transnistria.

Meanwhile, your stories will keep changing from providing air force to Ukrainians, to Eagle and Phoenox suicide drones, to "muh HIMARS", to who knows what you'll claim.....

The Russians got annihilated at Kyiv. The rate of Russian losses there were absurd. They completely failed in Kyiv and the North.

The Russians control less territory now than in April. Thats the reality. All those weapons are serving their purpose in destroying Russian armored forces. They've lost a third of their entire armored force in 4 months.

They will never take Odessa. They can't even take Mykolaiv which is half the size of Odessa.

You still don't get it. I've said from the beginning this is all about exhausting the Russian military to the point where their scraping every last depot. This is the long term strategic interest of the US. The Pentagon now labels Russia as an acute problem, and not a long term threat.

The EU is an enemy of Russia. Russia does not trade with the EU. Russia trades with China. China has 1.4 billion people, the oldest continuous civilization, the land of the two rivers, the world's biggest economy and the world's biggest military.

EU is Russias leading trade partner, twice the amount than tradings with China. Yet in your parallel universe Russia doesnt trade with EU..

It's only some of the trophies. The Javelin will be compared to HJ-12 which Russia bought from China.

To bad russian weapons is of no interest. Lots to investigate, slightly burned, but still.

Oh we know. Russia has shown to be an agressive enemy that will lose its biggest customers (the EU). Which will hurt russia immensely once prices settle down (after corona disruptions and market settle)

U know market economy/trade is always reciprocal, Russia provided EU with cheap resources for industrial production and Russia gained from EU goods and services. A breakdown of trade is self mutilation. Even if you take out energy spot prices, cost of freight, insurance and handling will make EU energy cost much more expensive than rest of the world. EU in the long run gains 1-2 % inflation which equals to 1-2 % cost of capital, Russia economy will be mired in economic slump for the foreseeable future and will likely be dependant on China for a long time. China(selling consumer goods and technology to Russia) and US (selling oil and Lng to europe) laughing all the way to the bank. EU cannot win a war of attrition against Russia, Napoleon and Hitler tried.

EU funded Euro Maidan riots which ousted president Yanukovych and started war in 2014. EU is directly responsible for the tragedy of MH17 and the loss of hundreds of innocent passengers. Because of this, Russia considers EU an enemy since 2014.

Russians still need to capture Bakmuht, Kramtorsk, Slovyansk. They also need to remove land mines, round up lost soldiers, clear the rubble and regroup and rearm. How long this will take is difficult to predict, because it depends on the morale of both sides. The most worrying part is Ukraine's High Command is being run by politics instead of by Military Logic

Rebels hold the vast majority of population in Donetsk oblast, including the capital city. In Donetsk oblast Kiev regime troops are outnumbered at least 4 to 1 by rebels and Russian troops. Bakmut will be difficult for Kiev regime troops to defend and should fall within the month.
