Haven’t they also been advancing in the south east also, or at least did in the prior few months? A pincer is much more effective than just a flank. I just saw Russia is advancing without much resistance. I think that is key too, cause based on posts here, one would think Russia is taking heavy losses at the moment, but actual news outlets imply otherwise.
If they slowly advance, they can also fortify. I don’t see a middle aged army taking back these territories, no matter how much we give Ukraine.
Edit: also saw on Twitter a few days ago, didn’t post it cause wasn’t an official news outlet, but are there rumors of mercs or troops from Cuba helping Russia now? I see last couple pages talk of Chinese on the battle field?
There is a fair amount of non russian troops serving, everyone from africans to nepalese and vietnam
Same for ukr, most guys in foreign legion are south americans (columbia and brazil heavily represented i hear) nowadays compared to how most were westeners back in 2022
All after for money
Yes, he will be replaced with another yes man. However if Shoigu will get Pattushev's post, then actually de facto ...promotion.Looks like Shoigu got canned at the least. Replaced with another civilian yes man.
Ukraine needs airpower because Russians internally being told to prepare for a 20 year war. They are training children as young as 8 years old in the ways of war. Programming them to salute, run drills at school and desensitizing them for war. This is where the real mind games are going on and older Russians know this but except it for what it means to them. Airpower will push Russia in ways that they will not be able to respond to the increased pressure on Putin internally. Ukraine now needs to send a strong message to Russia and give Russia little time to respond.

Actually giving him Patrushev's post where he will work together with Medvedev too is crazy idea...Medvedev will put him on vodka diet....Vladimir Putin set to transfer Sergei Shoigu from Russian defence ministry
Sergei Shoigu, a close ally of the president, has played a key role in Russia's hugely costly war in Ukraine.www.bbc.co.uk
Absolutely crazy that he lasted this long.
I suppose the concern is that during wartime, Putin actually appoints someone who knows what they're doing.
Sergei best stay away from windows and boats my prediction.Vladimir Putin set to transfer Sergei Shoigu from Russian defence ministry

He has been loyal and so gets promoted. That’s how it works.Sergei best stay away from windows and boats my prediction.
Yeah but someone finding a window in the next few months not enough room at the top. lolHe has been loyal and so gets promoted. That’s how it works.
Yes. Security council is No2 de facto power in Russia...and above their parliament if decisions should be made quickly...Patrushev has been the second most powerful man in Russia for a long time, according to most analysts.
It's interesting that Shoigu gets his job and he may be out (though he might not be, if he remains Putin's closest adviser in whatever new position he gets - power in Russia really flows from your access to the boss, rather than your job title).
Shoigu is getting a promotion, at least on paper. Gerasimov will likely be replaced in the not too distant future. Lavrov staying in place though he is and old man at this point.
Most of these guys are septuagenarians, but is known for hanging on to guys he feels he can trust and this is his gang.
