Soon tens of thousands of Ukrainian soldiers will have nowhere to go. What's next? Mass surrender, or the 2014 battle of Ilovaisk on a much larger scale. bbc.com/news/world-eur…

Mariupol is under practical siege. Sources say only two corridors open for civilians. Big question: will civilians be allowed to leave the city? greekcitytimes.com/2022/03/01/gre…

Odessa. Of particular importance for the Russian speaking world. For more than one reason. theguardian.com/world/2014/may…

Russian troops can turn Ukraine into a land locked country. Since it is now clear Russia's war aims are maximized, this seems the most logical scenario.

Disclaimer: I have no way to independently verify how accurate the maps are. Just posting from different sources to get a general picture of what is likely going on on the battlefields in Ukraine.

Approximate frontline.

Situation after six days of combat

One week of military operations. Russia controls more than 1/4th of Ukraine's land area. Major pockets either developing or complete.

"On a strategic level, the Empire of Lies did successfully force Russia to openly intervene. I will repeat, here are two, alas very real, western victories:
- Forcing Russia to openly intervene
- Very effectively controlling the narrative"

Why is the fall of Kherson important?

Soon the Russian army will cut off Odessa from rest of Ukraine. Additionally, solving the conflict between Chisinau and Tiraspol by force will disappear from the agenda. #Odessa #Moldova

Odessa. As I wrote before. #odessamassacre

To give you an idea about the military endgame

Blue - hard core of Ukrainian army trapped
Yellow - Capturing Odessa = Ukraine landlocked
Purple - pincer from Kiev to Nikolaev front closes the vacuum of central Ukraine. Few AFU forces there.

"Most worrying" for some. But, most promising for people in Donbass having spent eight years in shelters.
