Thanks Tom for the detailed assessment. We are still holding strong in Kyiv and preparing for a bloody and brutal winter in the south and east. Cold weather gear is going to be a major contributing factor in the coming months. If the RF can't keep its troops warm and fed with hot Ukrainian borscht, the morale problems will only multiply. My understanding is that the UAF has the supplies for its troops but the RF does not and may not have the logistical capabilities or actual supplies. I'd hate to be an RF quartermaster come November-December.
