Analyst Peter Zeihan discusses the recent Ukrainian counter-offensive and explains the three separate assaults. Ukrainian forces are attacking through the province of Zapparnitzia in an attempt to achieve a breakthrough and drive straight south to the Sea of Azov, ultimately severing the land bridge from Russia to Crimea. If successful, this would render the Russians unable to supply the region with food or energy, making their position in Crimea untenable. Despite the Russians holding for the time being, the degree to which the conscripts are being used is crucial to the outcome of this assault. Zeihan also discusses the two other assaults, detailing the destruction of the dam that would have allowed an amphibious assault, and the heavy fighting required to take control of the Donbas Region.
