51062 Re: Ukraine knocks out Russian refinery in major attack
   
Looking at things from a more strategic viewpoint. Ukraine has decimated the Russian Black Sea Fleet - Russia can no longer interdict Ukrainian grain shipments to the rest of the world.

Ukraine has also started blowing up and burning down Russian oil refineries and fuel storage tanks. One ought to wonder, how long until Russia finds itself without the fuel to move troops, food, and ammo into Ukraine? And what happens to the Russian soldiers inside Ukraine when they can no longer get food or ammo or reinforcements?

>>>
Russia lost more than 7,200 troops, 278 artillery systems and over 200 armored personnel vehicles (APVs) in the past week, according to Ukraine's military, as Moscow's forces inch westward on the northeast front lines in the war-torn country.

Moscow has lost a total of 424,060 troops in the war, and in the past 24 hours suffered 900 casualties Ukraine's military said on Sunday.

An American intelligence estimate says that Russia has lost 315,000 guys. I have to wonder how many of those guys were Russian factory workers . . . and how their loss has degraded Russia's manufacturing ability?
