You say, you know everything about me, even the walls have eyes here. Well, who you’ve learned it from, give him my shirt, the white one You're just like me, unbowed (Troubles said "hello", joy said "peace and love") But there where I pushed myself into, there’s neither psychologist nor shaman After everything we've been through, to start all over again from scratch! Heaven-heaven, you hear, heaven, I'm earth, because it's already the day when We're going off on a scream and I don't know you - I'm used to it. If you can go on without me, just tell me when I'll get over it

But here, right here An empty corner has appeared between my ribs I was screaming, begging, praying, It’s sadly Because you're both hell and a new heaven to me.

We made a mistake once - and all to no avail So her pencil was broken with my notebook Yes, I'm strong, I'm free, but I'm empty Can you tell me when I'll get over it?

In the middle of the quiet night, sweet dreams are broadcast to us, And we didn’t want to watch how the flowers began to grow out of clay We hoped to get rid of the dirt, hold hands and get out of that I'm sorry, but I won't grow steel flowers out of the mud anymore

Ukraine War thoughts 12/09/22

What just happened?

In the last month, Ukraine has launched two offensives. The first, in the south (which was trailed by a protracted campaign of announcements, expectation-building and blowing up bridges and supply depots with HIMARS) is a slow, relatively low-intensity push at the Russian troops bottled up around Kherson on the right bank of the Dnieper. The offensive proper started in the last week of August and is continuing. The second, in the north (which had very little prelude) was a faster combined arms attack which achieved operational surprise. It started last week and has already essentially succeeded. The Kharkiv attack itself didn't surprise me but the results, I think, shocked everyone: huge numbers of Russian soldiers basically gave up and ran away without much of a fight. Ukraine is now in the process of retaking the whole Kharkiv region. This is a massive upset which brings Ukrainian victory much closer.

Why did this happen?

Ukraine has (re-)developed a capacity to launch combined arms offensives, which use tanks, artillery, and mobile infantry in armoured vehicles, working very closely together, to rapidly overwhelm static lines. They identified a plausible and strategically valuable objective (Izyum, the headquarters of the Russian effort in the northern Donbas, and Kupyansk, a key logistical hub supporting it), carefully set up the most positive conditions for their offensive, and struck at a very weak point in the Russian lines, which unravelled. Russia has a chronic manpower problem and its soldiers are spread too thin across the entire frontier. Units have been sent south to deal with the long-telegraphed Kherson offensive, leaving the north undermanned. Putin is terrified of the political consequences of Russian mobilisation, so even with a genocidal forced mass mobilisation of all fighting-age men in Donetsk and Luhansk "people's republics" and a desperate mix of bribes, bullying and blandishments, as well as recruiting from prisons (this sounds like a parody, but it's genuinely happening) Russia doesn't have enough people to control the space it's fighting in. The bloodbaths around Severodonetsk and Lysychansk in early summer, and continued pointless Russian offensives, made this problem much worse.

Ukraine was under the same pressures in early summer; we heard lots of horror stories of barely trained TDF being sent to the line for the same reasons of hard military necessity: if they pulled men out of the line to train and recuperate the line would collapse. But the moment that pressure let up, Ukraine rotated men out to rest and train, and we're seeing the results in Kharkiv. That pressure never let up for Russia. They can't rotate anyone out because they don't have enough men to hold the front in the first place, and their training is suffering because they're desperate for men everywhere and they can't withdraw people to act as training cadres. This means that the soldiers they do have generally aren't properly trained and can't do their jobs.

We are seeing the results both of Ukraine having a much deeper reserve of politically deployable manpower, and a different approach to how they treat their men. The Russian army is at every level defined by absolute contempt for the welfare of their men and dishonesty about how bad things can get. The Ukrainian army isn't.

What happens next?

Kherson will almost certainly fall by the end of the year. I think Ukraine has very carefully managed expectations with that front, and the fact that their spokespeople are describing the push as a "feint" (it's not, it's a serious assault) indicates it's not going perfectly. But the Russian position, of too large a force on too thin supply lines, is unsustainable and the longer they put off the collapse the worse it will ultimately be. Ukraine doesn't want to fight for the city, they want to pressure the Russians into withdrawal without a fight. I think they will succeed.

Melitopol is a very obvious priority target, a short distance from the front line (about the same distance as Izyum/Kupyansk were. It's possible that Ukraine can rush the supplies and groundwork in order to put in another serious attack before autumn; the way Kharkiv folded so quickly and cheaply means Ukraine's mobile formations, while tired, are in much better shape to be withdrawn and used for another attack than they might be. If Ukraine can put in a credible combined arms attack south ASAP (in the next few weeks, probably) while Russia is still scrambling around, they could potentially cause another massive upset at little cost. Melitopol is hugely operationally significant: cutting the entire Russian occupation into two mutually non-supporting fronts would potentially be a game ender in itself, plus it means Russian forces in Kherson would be in an appalling position, plus it gives Ukraine a firing position less than 200km from the Kerch bridge, plus an assault in this direction would be well placed to retake the Zaphorizhzhia nuclear power plant (which is a big international worry). Any serious push on Melitopol would itself create a Russian panic and possibly force more goodwill gestures in Kherson to redeploy troops from there, even if the attack itself fails and bogs down before reaching Melitopol (sadly I suspect no attack for the rest of the war is going to go quite as easily as last week's did).

What does this mean for the end of the war?

It is hopefully now becoming clear to everyone that Ukraine is going to win militarily, and the best way to end this quickly is to supply Ukraine with everything it wants and then some. Russia has experienced an absolutely shocking reverse both militarily and psychologically and will struggle badly to hold its positions, let alone mount any offensives, for the immediately foreseeable future. In the best case, a few more successful attacks like this will end the war and allow Ukraine to dictate terms. The worst case is that the next Ukrainian push is seriously opposed and a lot more people have to die before this is over.

The political repercussions in Russia aren't yet clear but may be messy. Russia may end up having another civil war in the next few years. That's potentially bad news for everyone, but if it happens will happen anyway and there is no argument - or, I think, political will, outside of far-right morons who can't even do nationalism properly - for making more Ukrainians die first. No, not even in Germany. Russia is losing, and Russia NEEDS to lose, otherwise we'll do all this nonsense again in a generation. That Putin's regime is inextricably tied with over-the-top lies of military supremacy and strategic infallibility is, frankly, his problem.

We're coming to the end of summer. Autumn rains will slow things down in parts of Ukraine and will likely affect both sides equally. But winter is, I think, going to be vastly worse for the Russians. In intercepted calls throughout the war Russians have described their shock and envy at how much better Ukrainian uniforms, boots and socks are, how much better supplied their enemies seem to be. Frozen soil is easy to attack over and hard to dig defences into. Frozen rivers are no longer obstacles to competent mechanised offensives, for the army capable of developing them. I wouldn't be surprised if we see further serious attacks in winter.

Some other thoughts, no real organisation.

Some of the ways Russia has tried to deal with its manpower problems are the use of very well-paid Wagner PMCs, gigantic (promised, if not delivered) bonuses and salaries for contract soldiers, and "volunteer" battalions based on specific areas with geographical ties. These are all very short-term approaches and will create huge problems for the Russian government when large groups of armed men with loyalties to their region or each other rather than to Moscow suddenly aren't getting the money they have become accustomed to.

Ukraine has, through a combination of drones, satellites, precision ground-based fires, and well-networked last gen AA to achieve the sort of artillery observation, ISR, long-range strikes and air defence to achieve results which, in previous wars, would require a large, capable, locally superior air force. Much cheaper than an air force, too.

Analysis of capabilities, and mainstream understanding of war, has since WW2 been focused hugely on weapons and physical capabilities rather than the morale element of war (which absolutely dominated arguments before the Great War.) In my degree, where we looked at morale and motivation we mostly did so from the "long view" perspective of insurgencies and national struggles, not so much the modern battlefield. And fiction is even worse for this: nobody whose understanding of combat stems from films or games will have any idea how morale works. But this massive victory around Izyum was absolutely won in the minds of soldiers rather than with tanks, and I think we'll see more of this (especially with the further Russian collapses I think and hope will happen). Food for study.

Kherson is our hero city, which has been held hostage since the first days of the war. Our people are killed, tortured, raped. But they do not give up and with their heads held high and their teeth clenched shout, Kherson is Ukraine.

War and crime: The conflicts with which we are entering 2023

By Adarsh T R: The year 2022 witnessed a continuation of several conflicts that have been raging on for the past few years now. After threats and mobilisation of troops near the border, Russia invaded Ukraine in February with Vladimir Putin calling it a special military operation. If you think Russia’s war in Ukraine was the deadliest, think again. A brutal war in East Africa, that has been going…
