The ride is turning again as the arms arrive. Putin having to change the countries tax laws to pay for his “special operation”

Will they ever really reach them in enough numbers though? Or will they be drip fed to them to keep this thing going rather than try and hand them a chance to end it on their own terms?

My guess is the latter. The West don't want Russia defeated and they don't want Ukraine to win.
 
So, erm, a russian victory then, just in less words?
As it stands nobody can win. Putin wanted to walk into Kiev and turn Ukraine into another Belarus that's not happening. Ukraine want to kick Russia out of the Donbass and then Crimea that's not happening. Political solution is the only sensible option. Unless you have shares in the armaments industry,funeral directors or a company that makes prosthetic limbs.
 
Since no one bothered to reply I will reply my own Q.

As of yesterday, the canal district in Chasiv Yar has been a bloodbath.

The city proper is still in Ukrainian hands.
 
Russian 18th and 72nd Divisions have taken massive casualties in the Kharkiv oblast close to Vovchansk with the 72nd rendered combat ineffective, they’re trapped, can’t move and are getting battered.

Russia attempted to reinforce the 72nd a few days ago. A column of cheap trucks and golf buggies loaded up with Chechens attempted to break through to them, the result was 17 trucks destroyed and somewhere in the region of 500 dead Chechens.

Russia now needs to do something quickly or they will lose the 72nd completely
 
Looks like Ukraine is ready to end the Russian offensive in Kharkiv oblast and destroy the Ru 72nd.

They have committed the 101st Guards Bde of the general staff on the left flank of Vovchansk. This unit is the elite of Ukraines army and their commitment to this battle signals the intention to crush the trapped Russians and end their summer offensive.

The Russians weren't trying to take Kharkiv. They were trying to create a buffer zone and lay fortifications / defences / prevent attacks on Russian territory. The more significant war theatre remains Donetsk.
