UKRAINE HAS LOST

Now that i have your attention, here is why btw, Pokrovsk will fall before the end of the year and it's a relatively smooth drive over flat terrain into the rest of Ukraine from there

Frontline has collapsed
Russian breakgtrough achieved
10000 hihils died today
Its over for piggies kek
-Z

Russians are close to surrounding and capturing the city

I was over for Ukraine the day Russia invaded.

So if provotsk falls, that means there is no where left for Ukraine to entrench themselves, and basically all of Donetsk will be captured?
Or something else?

>>509443953 (OP)
it's oyvir

>>509443953 (OP)
Nah, really anon?
Maybe the ghost of Kiev will turn things around.

>>509443953 (OP)
>there aren't 50 threads about it in the last hour
This is how you can tell nothing happened

dnipropetrovsk and pretty much everything west of pokrovsk is a massive unforested flatland, the only real physical barrier left for ukraine is the dnieper

>>509444733
It will probably force Ukraine to abandon the entirety of Donetsk and even allow the russians to finally use that tank stockpile they've been sitting on to push quickly over the plains towards Dnipro and beyond.
basically a Germany in 1918 scenario.

>>509443953 (OP)
gorillions must die to go here

>>509444894
it's gonna be another month or two before the Russians capture Pokrovsk

>>509444812
Oh no. No more free men to kidnap and send to the slaughter or free money for his wife to spend.

>>509444041
This is exactly what you ziggers said about Bakhmut and every other fortified city Russians died by the tens of thousands to take.

>>509443953 (OP)
JUST

>>509444733
it means nothing ever happens
there were identical articles and theories about bakhmut and how its fall would change everything (nothing happened)
the war will continue to be a slow, excruciating grind

>>509445150
Except that this is straight out of the mouth of a Ukrainian military expert

>>509445079
Oh shit
So the reason it's been so slow until now is because of all the Ukrainian fortifications? I thought it was because drone warfare made it impossible to march forward and mobilize heavy vehicles

>>509445259
IF THEY'D JUST HAVE GIVEN HIM HIS FUCKING AMMO

>>509445290
landmines all over the place, tanks and stuff don't really come out any more because if they do it's either the landmines that get them or the drones.

>>509445290
>So the reason it's been so slow until now is because of all the Ukrainian fortifications?
yeah apparently the Ukranians built three major defensive lines in the Donetsk since 2014, Pokrovsk is in the last major defensive line.
Drones are very dangerous but you need defensive positions to actually be able to deploy them properly, it's very difficult if you keep getting chased by tanks, hence why the opening of the war was much much more mobile and fluid.

>>509443953 (OP)
Does that mean no more dead russian mongoloids?

>>509444041
I just saw a video where the Ukrainian military is basically packing trucks and IFVs full of cannon fodder, all on their way to Pokrovsk. Syrskyi's meat waves will make it difficult and I'm sure it will fall eventually
