They are advancing but they are bogged down.

Its going to be a war of attrition which means Ukraine could still lose unfortunately.

Russia took those lands most likely wont hand them back.

Even if the war ends we have another South Ossetia. Russia will most likely wont hand over those lands and would rather keep them either they will be annexed or most likely have Russian military bases.

Wherever Russians are they wont leave.

I actually feel bad for a lot of these Russian soldiers we've seen to this point. In many ways the Russian military is pretty advanced, however, the Russian army (despite its size) still operates in poverty. Most of these guys are improperly fed, carrying expired rations, 40 year old weapons, and they travel in squalor. For their sake, I wish their country would send their sons to war with quality kit at least.

Many were lied to and told that this was just a standard occupation maneuver into donbass....or a quick push and exfil in another area.

Many units didnt even know where they were actually going in the end....and just got stuck in the thick of it.

Poverty countries do poverty things. They will "win" this invasion on the back of sheer numbers alone, but they've pissed down their own legs at every opportunity along the way.

They've also set their country back 30 years from an economic standpoint. Head scratching decisions.

What do people think about the Russians moving to the next phase of their operation?

I would say the first strategic phase has been 80% successful. Some losses in Kiev and Kharkov, which they need to learn from. Heavy fighting in the Donbass, but they are breaking through now. And are closing the encirclement around the Ukrainian forces in the east. They have surrounded Kiev and Kharkov and the coast city beginning with M. Which they are assault soon. The next strategic phase will be completing the encirclement in the weak and destroying those Ukrainian forces, they linking up with Kiev and Kherson forces to create two lines east and west of the big river. The 3rd phase will be taking Odessa and linking up with the Russian bit in Moldova.

I have some question, why aren't the Ukrainians moving their special force and mountain troops from the west, why are they just chilling where they are? Are they protecting something?
