(#5076) More pressure on putin

      The Ukrainian forces are not relenting. They are on the attack and may soon find themselves with a retaking of Kreminna and holding the line at Bakhmut. With a Ukrainian victory in Kreminna the likelihood that Ukraine will then pivot north to reacquire a large swath of land seems logical. Especially if Russia takes a pause as expressed in this video link, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZgeGBnq4bg. What all of this says to date is that Russia is in trouble as their failed attempt to retake Bakhmut indicates. They don't have the resources to resupply their efforts to plan offensives so their default position for now is to manage their coming losses.
     As the invasion continues to lose land that putin had secured in 2014, the pressure mounts on his ability to convince his kremlin allies he is the tyrant for the job. Yet tyrants who do not win at war are not suffered for long. However putin seems to have some stranglehold on the dangerous dissent that could plan his ouster. But near nothing is 100% so we shall see. Ukraine on the other hand is bolstered by the supplies it is getting and the morale of her troops who seem to have that invincible characteristic embedded into the DNA. They push on without missing a beat and seem to have the greater will when it comes to this murderous invasion by putin.
     Again, watch this short video to get the gist of what is happening in real time and the possibilities that may occur, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZgeGBnq4bg. Ukraine is ready to put the Russian invasion on its heels and with some good fortune and relentless force Ukraine may be ready to deliver a knockout punch to putin and his lackeys in the kremlin. The sooner this hard Ukrainian military push is accomplished the sooner Ukraine can return to its national consolidation and rebuilding. Kicking the Russians out of all of Ukraine is not that unreasonable to hope for when they are mighty in their advance toward all their historic borders with Russia.
