Pokrovsk is the last bulwark to protect Europe against Russian army
Look at my red arrows.
That is unless USA supplies Ukraine with some big blue arrows, then the big blue arrows can go against the red ones and hold back the russian red arrows. However USA has a few Gigantic blue arrows in its stockpile that could help Ukraine win.

Not sure if trolling but Pokrovsk is literally worthless to Ukraine, Russians are throwing away thousands of lives for a literal dot on the map. Rinse and repeat until Russia runs out of bodies and Ukraine will sweep away the scum.

its worthless now because its under russian fire control but there was a time when porkroast was the major logistics center feeding dontesk fortress cities

in the future it will serve this role again, but oriented westward for the russians

>>510761645
Yeah just like Bakhmut was. And now it's 2 years later and it's still nothing but rubble and Russia has spent those 2 years meatgrinding the suburb 5 miles to the West.

if porkroast is useless why are ukranians fighting to the death to hold it. theres thousands of ukranian infantry in the city. its surronded by russians, under fire control and not naturally defensible (its a logistics hub not a fortress city) its a very bad place for ukranians to fight in - but theyre fighting hard for it. useless?

Complete collapse!
Look at the arrows!

its like when you are playing Empire Earth and for ages its an attrition war , attacks make little of no progress and any attempt at a deep attack fails. Then gradually you start to make progress and then one hour one of your raids breaks thru into his line & his counterattacks become progressively weaker as you release your reserves from the fortresses and exploit the gaps in the line. and then it snowballs and snowballs. His factory's go up in flames while yours produce fresh troops. A tipping point is reached and before you know it your assault troops and prophets are inside his main city

Damn you were right. The cope is amazing.

the war would have been over in 3 days if that russian column didnt forget to bring fuel

>>510764418
Yeah is unreal pathetic. This war has been going on since 2014 and it might take russia another 11 years to control their own annexed territory. They literally controlled more of Ukraine in July 2022 than they do now.

Not my problem

>>510762938
Because they're on the defensive with a fortification advantage; the Russians take far more casualties attacking it than the Ukrainians do defending it. They hold it until this advantage wears out, and then fall back to the next advantageous location. If their enemy is stupid enough to keep attacking these positions, then they're able to maintain a favourable casualty ratio vs their enemy.

This is called Defence in Depth, and given the relative sizes of Ukraine vs Russia it is the optimal strategy for Ukraine to use; given relative casualty rates as well as the steady deterioration of Russian force quality it appears to be working. Additionally, Defence in Depth buys them time to continue attacks on Russian military-industrial infrastructure. That's really the only way Ukraine can fight this war since they don't really have the ability to do any kind of large sweeping encirclement around the entire Russian line in Donbass, nor the ability to punch through.

Russia likewise doesn't really have the ability to break the current lines, just wear away at them slowly. As to why Russia keeps attacking even though they're suffering from it more than Ukraine, my speculation would be a combination of needing to have an image of progress for their civilian population, and wanting to maximize the amount of territory they physically control in the hopes of an eventual frozen conflict, in which case all taken ground basically becomes theirs forever (or a strong bargaining chip for concessions elsewhere, such as lifting sanctions). This approach works if they're able to negotiate a frozen conflict, but it's a gamble; if the war continues their losses will just continue to accumulate at an escalating rate.

>>510764418
This is attritional warfare, sides are milking their good positions rather than acting on them. for example if they take porkroast quickly they will lose many men (like the offensives of ww1) and then just get stuck on the next line of defense, minus the advantageous positions and a little farther from their supply. They've got porkroast almost surrounded with fire control over the whole zone. their gonna kill and destroy as much equipment as they can.

>>510760698 (OP)
ChatGPT says Ukraine can survive if it cedes territory east of Dnipro

>>510765242
>With Pokrovsk fallen, Ukraine’s ability to sustain attritional war is capped at ~12–18 months with full support, ~6–9 months without, and collapses within months if it sacrifices strategic flexibility in a bid to “hold the line” at all costs.

No. Foreign volunteers are incorporated into the military of Ukraine. You don't have troops from NATO countries fighting autonomously in Ukraine

>>510765028
theres so much i wanna say to your post, but im phone fagging right now so ill just say

1. russia is not attackkng porkroast, their sieging it

2. russia has artillery, air, drone armor and infantry superiority in porkroast - no reason to expect a favorable casualty ratio at all

3. porkroast is not a fortress city, it was a logistics hub that got moved to the front once the actual fortress cities fell. its neithet naturally defensible or on much of a high ground

4. ukraine is not using defense in depth. quite the opposite, they are holding every city they can with massive causalties because ukraine must maintain the illusion their army isnt getting ground to bone jelly

5. russias army is growing in size every month as well as drone power and armor power, whatever casualties ukraine is inflicting on russia are sustainable. ukraines are unknown but its a terrible sign that they have almost no volunteers anymore


sorry i couldnt give a more detailed answer

>>510765922
semantics, they are foreign and they are soldiers and they are fighting for Ukraine in their own companies.

>>510766062
Turns out taking these two fortress cities was important. There is probably nothing compared to these two left, whatever they would try to build up, they don't have the time they did between 2015-2022.

>>510760926

Not as frequently as they'd like, they're sitting ducks for drones. AFAIK LostArmour doesn't track construction vehicle kills but you can't exactly hide trenchworks, they are visible from space. The Russians have also begun to bomb concrete plants

>>510760926
Its Ukraine's main supply hub connecting rail links from the Polish border to the frontline. If it falls it will drastically reduce the amount of forces the Ukrainians can support and supply while giving the Russians a springboard to flank and encircle the remainder of the frontline. Russia and Ukraine both have like 70% of their forces concentrated in the region so a major shock to their supply lines like this could be decisive.

You're so obvious it's hard to believe it's not on purpose but the stupidity of shills never ceases to surprise me.

>>510764418
That's because WW1 didn't have ubiquitous and nearly perfect ISR that reveals mass troop movements weeks in advance.

You prepare an offensive somewhere with 30k men and it's visible from space. The other guy counter-prepares 20k men and all you get is a grinding stalemate as a result.

You won't see WW2 style rapid advances without the use of nuclear weapons to blow holes through defensive positions and cities and annihilate thousands of soldiers in a few seconds.

>>510767689
>>Besides mercenaries
Very few.
>According to the Russian update, 2,960 mercenaries have come from Poland with 1,497 of them reportedly killed. Number two is the U.S. with at least 491 of its 1,113 mercenaries killed. The update says that mercenary fighters have come from NATO members Romania and the U.K., while France has been the source of fewer: 147 French nationals have died out of 356 who have gone, according to Russia.

>While the credibility of these figures is unclear, in total, Russia — which also has non-Russians fighting on its behalf in Ukraine — claims 13,000 foreigners have fought for Kyiv and around 6,000 have died.

The number is probably about 1/3 to 1/5 of that due to Russia's tendency to wildly exaggerate things. For example Russia claimed they have killed 491 Canadians alone but Canada's record shows only 11 mercenaries dead out of several dozen who went over from 2014 through 2024. Most of the Canadian volunteers died in Bakhmut:
>18 July 2022 Emile-Antoine Roy-Sirois 31 (Hryhorivka)
>8 November 2022 Joseph Hildebrand 33 (Bakhmut)
>15 January 2023 Grygorii Tsekhmistrenko (Bakhmut)
>26 April 2023 Kyle Porter 27 (Bakhmut)
>26 April 2023 Cole Zelenco 21 (Bakhmut)
>10 November 2023 Josh Mayers 34 (Bakhmut)
>10 November 2023 Anthony Ihnat 58 (Ivanivske)
>11 November 2023 Austin Lathlin-Bercier 25 (Avdiivka)
>29 November 2023 Brad Stratford 57 (Donetsk)
27 February 2024 Alain Derasp 49 (Undisclosed)
>19 March 2024 Jean-Francois Ratelle 36 (Belgorod)

Most volunteers are from Poland and other places that feel more directly threatened by Russian aggression and land grabs. Very few are from western Europe or North America. Nato is more or less sitting this one out but sending a few sloppy 40 year old weapon systems over in solidarity.

It goes beyond that. Russia is famous for "losing" dead so they don't have to pay out to families.

They even tried including Russian dead to boost numbers.
