the situation s very difficult. the ukrainian center of mass for their armed forces was in the east facing the two separatist provinces. now they re going to be incircled. they re going to have russians behind them. how will they handle mobile warfare? i think the situation is grim. and turning to kyiv, zelenskyy and his very brave civilian government never mind his fighting forces are facing the notion of what to do about the russian president that s now starting into the capital. you cannot defend a giant 3 million-person city from the perimeter. do they allow the soviet excuse me russian forces in and fight them block by block with malotav cocktails and sniping at them causing enormous civilian casualties, or do they declare it an open city, withdraw the government and use passive resistance?
