Donbas defence falling apart
https://youtu.be/AjbyYtbTuO0

So basically the ukrainian army is retreating to shorten their supply paths, while lenghtening the russian ones.
You may call it "intentionally falling apart".
Of course, state controlled media of Russia will exploit this as a victory, while also announcing that Russia has already destroyed 150% of western heavy artillery supplies and 200% of ukrainian nazi ammunition. As a proof, they will use embedded reporting to show artillery projectiles with laser engraved swastikas.

While the Ukraine is evidently backed by western intelligence, Russia's moves are obviously backed by russian... uhm.. "intelligence".
Looking forward to July, when all the new western supplied weaponry is moving against them BTG's in the liberalized occupied areas in east of Ukraine.

All the russian weapons and vehicles built after WW2 were produced to be used, so be it. We'll see if high precision weapons will give an advantage over "high precision" weapons, unless the former will be destroyed at a rate of several hundred percent, while being delivered in direction of the frontlines.

Nasdrovje?  Roll Eyes
What is this if not a victory?

According to Zelensky, Russia has 20 times more equipment in Donbas than Ukrainians.

Remember Stalingrad?
Sure, there are differences, but in essence the (original) nazis were led into exhaust.
And yes, you need an advantage between 4:1 to 10:1 in equipment to attack and hold a region, but this isn't everything. You need skilled personell, motivated and healthy soldiers, experienced commanders and, most important, steady supply. Who cares about 20 times more in weapons when it's a question of time to see them transformed into a rusty pile of metal?
It's also starting to boil inside Russia, more and more people don't want to get poor and lose their sons MIA because of this war.
Victory?
