Is The Russian Military Preparing A New Offensive In Ukraine?

 

Daily Mail: Battle to choke the enemy: War expert JUSTIN BRONK tells how a Putin pincer move could cut-off Zelensky's forces near Donbas and take Mariupol while Ukrainians could outflank invaders to strangle supply lines near Kyiv 

Vladimir Putin could cut off Ukrainian forces in Donbas from the rest of the country in a series of 'pincer thrusts' - leaving Volodymyr Zelensky's troops overwhelmed, military expert JUSTIN BRONK writes on MailOnline today. 

If the Ukrainian units are separated, he said it will force them to either attempt a high-risk breakout from their defensive positions or to fight on where they are knowing that they will eventually run out of supplies and lose. 

The possibility has been raised by Mr Bronk, a military expert in airpower and technology who analysed how the Russians are advancing southwards from Kharkiv Oblast and northwards from the Mariupol and Donetsk axis.

Sobering analysis? Shirley you jest!


Anyone, who has read about the Falaise Pocket or the Russian and German encirclements of the Eastern Front, have known about the dangers of possible, probably likely, Donbas encirclement.

The Russian armies of old would have encircled the Ukrainians already. This is damn embarrassing.

What remains to be seen is, if the Russian victory will be Pyrrhic or how Pyrrhic.
