I am not sure if they are short of shells for artillery. And they still have air superiority + a limited number of remaining ballistic missiles. So it’s no easy war for the Ukrainians and experts are talking of weeks before the Ukrainians will be able to take Kherson.
And everything will be a great challenge for civilians as well. It’s no easy task for any Ukrainian.
And the Russian way of war (that they have used in Afghanistan, Chechenia and Syria), is to destroy everything with their artillery first to break the resolve of the opponent and then seize the rubble that is left. (They have a most cruel way of waging war too, and that since the imperial period).
As Zelensky puts it, they need air defense systems (perhaps even from Israel). And better long range artillery like the HIMARS systems. Because I don’t think it’s about winning the war anymore. I think the world should look for ways to shorten the challenge that is faced by the Ukrainian population as a whole.
