The Ukrainian counteroffensive has been a huge success so far. It is not over yet and the assessments are being made on the fly as it were. So just keeping up with the attack mode that the Ukrainian forces are in high gear at is a difficulty happily dealt with. Because regardless of the totalness of the rout, the rout is the main thrust of the subject. And the rout is on. There are rumblings in Moscow as well about how this turn of events is playing out. The ineptness of the Russian/putin failed plan to make Ukraine a non existence is as evident as the nose on putins face.
How he survives this will be a story for another time but if he doesn't survive, the reason will be the unending relentless spirit of both brawn and brain from the Ukrainian people. Sure the west gave them weapons to use but the Ukrainians used them proficiently. I suspect that the west also aided in logistics and strategy but once again it is the fighting spirit of the Ukrainian people that put all of that into a well oiled cohesive action. Ukraine is representing what is best about our humanity while exposing Russian acts of brutality and cruelty, that which is worst about humanity.
The amazing surge in force by Ukraine to recapture their homeland is not done and hopefully by next week a greater recapture of Crimea will be on my pages here. Nonetheless, what is happening now is a change in the world order as Russia is showing its inability to lead while Ukraine is displaying everything about how to lead. The end of the Russian domination of Eastern Europe is happening now and although Russia is fighting to save its butt in Ukraine don't be surprised if other hotspots on Russia's borders heat up. Russia has blundered badly and for that they are about to pay a price that none of them saw coming!
