Russian command and control onds logistic, where ever that is. what we re faced with here is not only the battle itself but also the potential ending of the conflict. it s important ukraine not give up this territory in the donbas. if they do, getting it back through negotiation will be extremely difficult. the only wap this can end in a manner is if they get enough material from the west and fight strongly enough to push the russian forces completely out of ukraine, restore their territorial integrity and let russia ask for negotiation. that s the only way we re going to get resolution of this. once the fighting stops, if russia hasn t given up its aims, it s going to rearm and push forward again at the earliest opportunity.
