As the threat looms... last i heard they were in the capital?
Yes, the first article is from December, the bottom article is from yesterday.
Ukraine promised to draft women, but then went back on it.
They assumed their gender??? 🔥
I would not want to hand guns to any number emotional woman that have no safety training.
They repelled some of the initial invasion. Drones, urban retreat. It simply regroups and then comes back stronger. Russia has been sustaining some losses. But it's gonna get real ugly. Often the worse that resistance is. Because like Aleppo, they'll surround cities. Starving out supplies, disrupting any other utilities etc. Inching forward under artillery, and air. Not favourable but what's that objective?
Of course the problem for Russia becomes the sanctions and the outcry. Where mysteriously a mindset of sanctions assumes that a country with resources and production manufacturing its military instead of buying it, is costing multi billions to invade. Sanctions have cost. Inevitably. Because they also bite into the normal current population. If they don't stop Russia, by sanction what? The worse causalities there are how bad does it cause a reaction?
But this is also wrong. In a war where they're resisting what. Death, or freedom. Or freedom to die?
This is a propaganda tool. Human shield. Provoking global mediation. Because the meat is suddenly sweeter. Omg not the women and babies. Got to give the toddlers RPGs, releasing the self detonating grandparents.
I also don't think they're after a prolonged engagement. It's a series of actions with specific aims. Remember Kazakhstan a few months ago?
No it is 100%.
A) They have had months amassing
B) They're going to occupy after invasion, and root any major resistance.
C) In doing so they have to install a new command structure. Or a favourable one.
Your comparison is an existing command against a peasant revolt. Not against a standing army.
In this situation as a comparison, if they cannot effectively enter. It's a case of Aleppo. Because that enemy is using shields and retreating back into Urban centers where it has production and cover. This piece, a human shield. The men now the women. Protecting a command structure where it is rostering them. Largely to cause outcry as sanctions bite and outrage draws World opinion. It protects any other advance. But sooner they'll likely close the border completely and cut off coms.
But you're right who knows fully what that objective is. But it is faster getting full on. Men women are rostered.
Again I don't have to reiterate. I take no side. I am not fighting here. As an overview, discussion, I can only draw on comparison with what seems logical or obvious.
I think Russia only has money to occupy for a few months. Kazakhstan to new shows they prefer to get in and out.
