Summarizing Alexanders analysis of this Russian Withdrawal ( Foxy’s second link )
The War so far has been waged by The Donbas Militias and Chechen Militias with “Support” from Russian Artillery and Air support and logistics etc but hardly any Russian Troops have been engaged.
Putin’s goal has been to demilitarize and liberate The Donbas and surrounding regions primarily by supporting these Militia but not actively sending many Russian Army Troops directly.
This Offensive is a win for Kiev sponsored Ukraine forces…they have recaptured territory which was sparsely defended by these militia units with little resistance
Alexander says this is the first successful operation the Ukrain has effected and will be a big psychological boost .
He feels this must get Putin and his Generals rethinking their tactic of letting the Local militias and Chechens and Some elite Private Armies doing the dirty work . He feels likely this will force Russians to engage their Regular Army for the first time. Their first directive must be to reinforce the defenses along the river they have retreated to
He also feels the War’s outcome is not changed but is prolonged as long as Russia resists sending their troops in now.
Very Interesting and well balanced analysis from this Guy.
In Summary Russian Allies have suffered their first defeat ( territorial loss only not any physical casualties ) and new strategies and reinforcements must now be deployed .
Alexander says The rest of the War zone continues to see Russian Allies advancing methodically
This is the take I got from todays presentation
No War goes linearly for either side…it ebbs and flows .
Looks like this will be a long one !
………..
Interestingly in summary it appears this war in Ukraine is actually a Civil War
The Eastern Ukraine Breakaway Republics and allies vs the Kiev Supported Ukraine Army and Nazi Allies
The Easterners are Strongly Supported Financially and Logistically by Russia and the Kiev lead Faction is supported by NATO .
In effect Both Sides are Fighting a Proxy war in Ukraine
So Far !
