Rumours that the Russians are legless. This one certainly is. Viewer discretion advised !
Blimey I’ve seen some grim things so far but that is quite horrific

I suppose a lot depends on what kit the Russians have. If the Ukrainians have well prepared defenses and can target the supply lines then it could go either way. Thousands of dead Russians might just have an impact on the population back in Russia.Hate to say it but 500k troops if true thrown into the fight will be a formidable opponent regardless of what level of training and equipment they have. Particularly when coupled with Russias tactics of not giving a toss about casualties.
My hope at this stage would be the Russian troops would be completely ineffective due to logistic (Partly Russian incompetence and partly Ukraine targeting them) and morale. But Bakhmut shows that even if it comes at a massive cost they are still able to move forward through sheer numbers.
Hopefully Ukraine have got a few tricks up their sleeve but the momentum might swing a bit to Russia in the next few weeks and the news might not be as positive as it had been for months prior to Christmas
They need to split the Southern part then take out the Kerch bridge.I suppose a lot depends on what kit the Russians have.

Got to repel any Russian offensive first. The good thing is that if the Russians are throwing 300-500000 troops at it then they can’t hide where the attack will be giving the Ukrainians chance to prepare.They need to split the Southern part then take out the Kerch bridge.
This is what I don't get...if they lose thousands taking a few fields and hundreds more holding them, how the hell are they going to occupy the whole of Ukraine? Think they'd lose a million just trying, plus if they can't support 150,000 how will they support half a million.Mind even if the Russians win and roll over a lot of Ukrainian territory they still have to keep it with a load of experienced Ukrainian resistance against them.

Unfortunately i fear it will be nothing like Belarus. I suspect they will <try to> make an example of Ukraine.
Wagner Group dwindling numbers may make things more difficult for R.F.

30,000 troops since Christmas is insane, it's 275,000 a year, where are these troops getting the weapons, I imagine as many rifles are picked up by Ukraine as kept by Russia and a lot of them will have been damaged.
EDIT, I hope these figures are an underestimation.
