Yes.
I can see why with Russia moving 2,000 troops in occupied Georgia unless they can't meet the needs for a possible operation with finding any forces in its own country.
Very interesting. Because Russia has not declared war, a large number of trained troops simply quit their jobs when called into duty. They are not held for treason, because technically Russia is not at war
Ukraine can build another one or a better one.
Even in places where they have occupied for weeks or a month. I can see why they kept the casualty numbers low and didn't report it to the top.
Regroup to where to attack Kiev? They already lost their supply bases and are getting surrounded. They have no choice but to retreat if they can.
I can think of ways of hitting back the Russians without escalating if Russia decides to hit an a country providing military supplies and equipment. Belarus. They have many Russian helicopters and fighter planes along with those Iskander missile platforms that are lobbing those missiles into Western Ukraine. Destroy those, it will help Ukraine more.
U.S. should transfer Humvees (which the Ukrainians already using) and MRAPs, we have thousands of them. I'm certain there are many vehicles gathering dust in Europe, someone should start looking and see what they can do to help Ukraine. Russian made BMPs, BTRs, helos, etc.

Exact number and type is unknown, ADF have more than 1000 Bushmaster 4x4 in surplus, Bushmaster is very versatile vehicle, they can mount just about anything on top, from 25mm autocannon to AT Missile. It carry 10 troops in addition to the crew serve weapon. It's mine resistant and armoured up to 12.7 calibre.
Yes turkey did. Not duabi or saudis. I said rich gulf countries.
Britain, Germany and Australia now providing vehicles, the U.S. should do the same. Even encourage other hesitant European countries to do the same.Germany green lights the resell of 58 light tanks to Ukraine.

Almost Doolittle Raid equivalent but also significant since it force the Russians to ration in the region because they need that fuel for the military operation in Donbas.
They need to retake Crimea so it won't be use for any future invasion of Ukraine. Same for the Donbas region. Two major cities Donetsk and Luhansk can also be used as major fortresses against any future invasion as long as Putin is in power, he will do it again whether he loses or gets some of Ukrainian territory, he won't stop. Controlling Mariupol, Donetsk and Luhansk, it be like Kharkiv, Sumy and Chernihiv strongholds in the north holding and attacking an invasion force especially the supply line.I agree, media in germany say the war shifts from defense to offense now. Russias attack collapses, now its about destroying them. At moment its even possible to retake crimea. The type of weapons needed is different now. Humvees, tanks, drones.
Only with a 30m long table
Ukraine can retake Donbas.
