Analysis: Russian forces begin to advance on Ukraine's Donbas

Air Marshal Phil Osborn explains how, on Day 55 of the war, Russia is diverting forces from the west of Ukraine to the eastern Donbas region.

The former Chief of Defence Intelligence Staff says that Russian units, while 'shattered' after leaving Kyiv, will try and encircle well dug-in Ukrainian forces and overwhelm them.

What happened to the winter war commentary at the beginning of the war and the spring being something they were going to avoid?

Would be useful to not have the word LUHANSK cover all of the Donbas front. XD

As a German I feel obliged to express my deepest regret for our weak chancellor. Simply the wrong person to deal with meaningful decisions.

[NuclearPhysix]

To be fair, this gentleman is honest and unbiased in his assessment. No emotional attachments to any side, just pure assessment. I wish all other Analysts were like him

PRAY, PEACE, LOVE, WISDOM, COMPASSION. 😔

Russia can take the ground. Then they have to keep it. Just because Russia declares victory in May 9th doesn’t mean Ukraine has to stop shooting.

[butcheinsel]

yes tell us what will happen before it happens

Where's Gonzalo Limo ? That's what the big STORY is today

[burimfazliu]

Rasputitsa. People keep forgetting that. It’s when the rainy season and turns the ground mud except for like the main roads. Tanks can drive off them but then they need more maintenance more often otherwise they breakdown faster.

A very Good analysis . Just Cristal clear, no zig zag .

[doctorale]

All these retired military experts brought in have one thing in common, they are directors of some private company somewhere.

The only place where Russian troops are advancing is into the *Gruz 200* (Cargo 200)

[stdavidboy]

No word of yukranian militia shooting civ il ians in mariu pol on his channel? Wonder why?

[tfowel]

The question that arises is why these civilians were not allowed to leave the plant during the arranged cease fire " hostages"?
