If I may guess, I don\u2019t think Tokmak and Melitopol are occupied by strong Russian units but their BTG is west of the Dnieper and towards Mariupol. The offensive northward from Tokmak has been secondary.<br \/>\n&#8212;<br \/>\nWe\u2019ll see, but if they can restore the Mariupol \u2013 Donetsk line and push back the Russians south of Melitopol, they will have come quite far ahead of the Russians\u2019 spring offensive down south.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"import-comment import-comment-level-1\">\n<h3>11:30<\/h3>\n<p>Yeah, that\u2019s always annoying when the \u201cknow-it-alls\u201d have to put themselves above those who do the work.<br \/>\nI mostly sit and wonder if I could physically manage to become an infantry soldier Ukraine-style at my +45.<br \/>\nThen if given the choice \u2013 family or war \u2013 I would choose war or continue being a keyboard warrior.<br \/>\nNow you just have to hope you never have to choose, but unreserved respect for those who are now fighting so that Sweden can be safe, because that is ultimately what they are doing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"import-comment import-comment-level-0\">\n<h2>16:21<\/h2>\n<p>Maybe I won\u2019t have to nag anymore about the Kherson encirclement soon because it seems they are close enough to put that bridge under indirect, maybe direct fire if you read what has been posted in the thread \ud83d\ude00<br \/>\nI don\u2019t see much about Kakhovka but it\u2019s \u201cclose by.\u201d As I said, I think you can already count on massive Russian losses at Kherson. It will probably come faster than up near Kyiv since they are in worse shape.<br \/>\n\u2014<br \/>\nThey have been so sure of Russian loss here that they have moved mech and armor east of the Dnieper via Zaporizhzhia and started working their way south<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"import-comment import-comment-level-0\">\n<h2>17:06<\/h2>\n<p>The West has played its cards well, now Russia, led by
