well like I was saying earlier, Avdeevka was the first and most important domino to fall here. It wasn't just that it fell, its that the UA leadership completely failed to evacuate the 110th and left them surrounded and obliterated, and there's no imaginable world in an era of social media and the internet with cell phones where the 115th could have been unaware of their predecessor's fate. And all this really boils down to that main issue that's going to plague any semblance of defense by Ukraine over the next year- no matter how much money America throws at it, if there are no Ukrainians left to fight, Russia can't be stopped
Just as well there are 2.2 million military personnel fighting on the Ukrainian side.
Russia has been stopped and remains stopped. Incremental gains while not admissible are not changing the fact Russia has been stopped.
