I wouldn't like them to lose people over politics. Ukraina has, arguably, most battle hardened forces in the east. Use the air force and hit them hard.
We're not hearing much about the fighting in the East around Donbass, but i expect it will be getting hot and heavy. It looks like Russian forces are pursuing a double envelopment on a grand scale, with DPR/LPR forces on the attack to occupy the Banderites and pin them in place, while Russia hammers the enemy with arty, MLRS and CAS.
DPR forces have apparently broken thru Ukrorat lines and are liberating areas in the rear zone, a sure sign that Banderite resistance is waning (or even collapsing).
I think that when the smoke clears, it will be readily apparent that Russia hasn't be at all gentle in dealing with Ukronazi formations![]()
I'm talking more about Kharkov and Sumy. Still ongoing fights there, as Ukr got reinforcement most likely. Use the damn air superiority and hit harder. Cut of roads.
