Decomposed > Well, here's the map as of about two weeks ago. Does it REALLY look to you as if Ukraine is going to stop Russia from getting supplies and weapons to its troops??? It doesn't look that way to me.


The Kerch bridge - connecting Crimea to Russia - was heavily damaged- possible even unusable.

Ukrainian 'sea drones' - used to sink much of Russia's black sea fleet - are more than capable of interdicting Russian attempts to resupply by sea.

Ukrainian long range artillery, missiles, and drones can be used to destroy supplies Russia tries to send its troops in Ukraine.

But the BIG thing I pointed out was Ukraine using drones to destroy Russian oil refineries and fuel storage depots.

How does Russia move supplies from Russia into Ukraine when they have a shortage of fuel for the trucks and trains they'd like to be using to move them?

Re: “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?”Well, here's the map as of about two weeks ago. Does it REALLY look to you as if Ukraine is going to stop Russia from getting supplies and weapons to its troops??? It doesn't look that way to me.

You mentioned that "An American intelligence estimate says that Russia has lost 315,000 guys." I've read that Ukraine has lost 200,000 to 300,000 guys. That would be great news for Ukraine, except that Russia has a population of 144 million while the population in Kyiv-controlled areas may have decreased to as low as 28 million. On the brighter side, Ukraine looks like it is on the verge of conscripting women ages 18 to 60. Fresh troops for the front lines! The good news for Ukraine never seems to end.
