Putin's Kharkiv losses could have major impact in 2025 | Matthew Savill

"They bleed the Russians and they cause the Russians to expend those additional people and extra materiel."
Ukraine will seek to use Putin's push on Kharkiv to "bleed" Russia's tanks and manpower as the Kremlin is forced to refurbish older equipment, says RUSI's Matthew Savill.

Last years counter offensive didn't fall short of expectations! I dont think any military would sign on to an offensive like that without air superiority. The media's expectations are not the same as reality. Ukrain was pressured into it prematurely because the west was asking for results while tying ukraines hands at the same time.

[@johnadam2885]

According to western experts, Russia has no air superiority either, so it was alright to push ahead. Ukraine is pushed by US timelines. It is based on Return on Investment. The shareholders have to be shown that Ukraine had made progress by year end.

@@johnadam2885 The difference is the US would not attack such fortifications unless they had air superiority. Meanwhile equipment delays and lackluster supply overall allowed the Russians to dig in for additional months. Also, while Russia doesn't have air superiority they have the air advantage and are using long-range glide bombs as their greatest advantage, otherwise their straggling advance would be even more difficult

It's not happening now either, and that's the point. Russia has already lost more men than it ever will on a monthly basis. The trend isn't going up; it's going down. You can't be attacking with smaller rifle companies and losing more men-it's just not possible. Time Radio isn't a serious channel for this topic. None of them are. All the pro-Ukraine fanboy channels, whether run by pros or amateurs, have been spreading the same false BS for months now, using the same unreliable sources. This isn't about Russia-we know they lie. But they're not making the West lie. Just like saying Ukraine has 800,000 troops-no serious journalist believes that. If they had that many troops, they wouldn't be deemed combat ineffective by the US over a year and a half ago. The level of nonsense coming out of the West, unrelated to Russia, is so thick that I need windshield wipers to clear my eyes. We already know the final result, so much so that it's not even interesting anymore. Unless the F-16 swoops in like a falcon and changes everything-which, hey, I'm all for-it won't remove minefields, trenches, dragon teeth, or anti-tank ditches. By the way, Russia has retaken some positions over the winter that took Ukraine months to capture. This is the main reason for the counteroffensive failures in 2023. Now that they're combat ineffective, it's unlikely any of that will ever be removed. So, the West's great plan for something they know is over is to keep sending Russian and Ukrainian troops to the grave by the thousands. Great plan, man. Great plan.

This takes away from an otherwise fantastic interview. Too many barriers for the viewer to deal with.

[@timtrewyn453]

I am concerned that the Russian contract recruitment is providing a steady flow of troops who are making gains. Russia will be able to see that tapering off and can begin to revert to a defensive role and push for an armistice to conserve what it has taken. Look back at many wars with major powers involved and how exhaustion sets in at 3 or 4 or 5 years. I am not thinking of wars against relatively modest opponents (Afghanistan, Iraq). I am thinking of Korea, WWII, WW1, even the American civil war. Freed slaves joining the Union Army in the last two years of that war brought it to a close. Americans arriving in 1917 helped bring WW1 to an end. Both sides were exhausted at the end of the Korean War. I don't see Ukraine being equipped sufficiently to recover all its territory. It seems that it is being equipped to turn the tide on a minor scale with the Western goal of reaching an armistice. Bringing in Western air forces to supplement the Ukrainian air force could culminate the current war. There would be the nuclear saber rattling and a settlement borne out of high stakes. Putin has to put on a show to save face. What Ukraine very much needs once an armistice is in place is Western forces in country to deter further Russian aggression.
