Hi AC,

Konstantinivka has not fallen yet, but there is acceptance that it will fall eventually. What I am interested to see is how the Russian forces fare through winter. Summer has been the time of big Russian gains, yet they have lost ground the past few months.

How will all those front line troops survive winter cold, hungry and without supplies?

This Doesn’t Add Up About Ukraine War Casualties…

Hi Fester,
Here's what my Ukraine war map commentary says:

Hi AC,

I tend to use ISW. You might also note that Ukraine decommissioned a few hundred artillery pieces over a few days, and the attacks on logistics have forced Russia to withdraw some drone units from the front line.

Ukraine's biggest problem at present seems to be all the infighting. Not being able to coordinate their forces is not good, but dis-coordinated as they are, Russian forces are suffering.

I have always thought that the best tactic to defeat the Russians
would be, after cutting oil off as they have done, would be to
not attack the power plants but the switch yards associated
with them. Hit the transformers, and they may have a couple of
spares, but they won't last long.
Those sort of transformers do not grow on trees.
It would take many months to replace them and the economy would
totally collapse, no petrol, no diesel, no electricity:
Then as a result no food !
No wartime economy could survive that !
