How long do you think it will take Ukraine to seize the pre-2014 borders in Donetsk and Luhansk?

How long do you think it will take Ukraine to seize the pre-2014 borders in Donetsk and Luhansk? These areas have been built up with years of defenses and are a lot more urbanized than other portions of the oblasts.

        I think this is not unrealistic, I would expand/differ on the following points though.
        >Crimea, if it is ever returned, will be granted autonomous status; that was already the plan anyway. Ukraine's best chance of retaking it may be to capitalize on vatnik flight and overwhelming momentum following a Southern blitzkrieg, if they stall out too hard then this will not work. At this point I suspect Ukraine may opt for a more diplomatic approach that includes further UKR concessions.
        >Donbabwe and Luganda don't get real autonomy, not after all the shit they've pulled. Maybe a nominal facade. Many of their pro-RU supporters have been wiped out at this point and a large number of the pro-Ukraine supporters who were kicked out a few years ago will want to return. By the end of it I suspect LDPR will be in no position to be demanding compromises.
        >LDPR will probably not be demilitarized. I doubt Russia finds a demilitarized LDPR much more acceptable than a militarized one and they lack any bargaining power short of MUH NOOOOKERIES.
        >Unless Russia credibly threatens NOOOOOKS I don't think Ukraine will easily back down on NATO. They've suffered a lot for it and EU owes them quite a bit.
        >Sanctions will be relaxed on the basis of what is most beneficial for the west, not Russia. There will be little global compassion for poor poor Rossiya until they own up to their mistakes and make a genuine effort to unfrick themselves. Imports of sophisticated military technology will remain banned.
        >Georgia may consider taking back its territory in the wake of Russia's expeditionary collapse, Ukraine may be willing to help.
        >Japan retaking Kuril islands is plausible but not extremely likely. May be negotiated diplomatically.

          Rhetoric like that from both sides kills billions. Strategically, even if all of Ukraine was pacified, and then annexed into Russia, it wouldn't matter because Ukraine is a demographic shithole that'll have the population of Pennsylvania by the end of the century, and already has a GDP per capita lower than Namibia and half that of Iraq BEFORE the invasion. Now it has a GDP per capita lower than Sub-Saharan Africa.

          >removal of any Russian leverage in the HOPE that eventually the west will relent
          It may have escaped you, but Russia has zero leverage as it is. It is sanctioned to isolation because it is a threat, the kind we would be invading and occupying right now if not for russian nukes. We're doing this to protect ourselves from russia, not to hurt russia. Once russia proves that we have no need to do that, the sanctions can be, slowly, lifted. It does not need to endanger itself for that - as I said, the nukes would probably remain, if only to defend against china, and that makes a western invasion impossible too (even if wanted to, which we really rather wouldn't). And as I said, the regime would be such that russian life improves instantly the moment it moves credibly into that direction.

          But yeah, I understand your point. Russia does not understand that the west wants to merely not be harmed by russia, and maybe do some business too. Russia thinks it's us or them and that is why they will become a new north korea, and my suggestions about a way out of that are indeed purely hypothetical - a reddit fantasy for one who would honestly hope for it.

            After years of brutal sanctions it would take decades for a nation to recover. You’d be replicating the circumstances that gave Putin the power he has.

            > We're doing this to protect ourselves from russia, not to hurt russia
            This is the best point, cripple them so they can’t be a threat. But that doesn’t work on a nation with a large nuclear arsenal. Because as long as they have those missiles they are a threat.

            > Russia does not understand that the west wants to merely not be harmed by russia, and maybe do some business too. Russia thinks it's us or them
            Under the scheme you’re proposing it would be. Sanctions aren’t just a switch you flip. Factories that have been shut down for years can’t just be restarted. The population can’t just sit in stasis until the day the sanctions drop.

              As does the United States, who effectively zero's out the threat of Russian nukes. It's either no nukes, or the USA and Russia destroy the world. the USA has been very clear about that, or at the very least, destroying Russian military power for a generation or more within the week, conventionally, and trivially.
              >a large conventional military
              Certainly a large conscript base. But oops! All of the professionals fricking died in the war, or ARE dying in the war as we speak, and being replaced with conscriptniki. Oops!

              And unless you're India, China, or some other non-aligned nation, guess what! It doesn't matter anymore. The decoupling of Russian energy from the main markets of Europe is already occurring. They already played those cards! It's too late to pretend that it can hurt any more than it already has, since it's already over.
              The pain of nukes is zero'd out by Americans, the pain of Russia's army is zero'd out by its own failures in this war, and the pain of energy has already happened. There's no leverage left.

                The American nuclear arsenal does not “zero out” Russia’s nuclear arsenal. It does not prevent them from using it, it merely highly discourages them from doing so. And that very much plays into western decision making. For example the Biden administration has refused to send certain weapons systems out of fear of a nuclear escalation. That is leverage. While Russian conventional forces have proved themselves inept, destroying them is not a bloodless affair. That is leverage.

                > aligned nation, guess what! It doesn't matter anymore. The decoupling of Russian energy from the main markets of Europe is already occurring. They already played those cards! It's too late to pretend that it can hurt any more than it already has, since it's already over.
                This is pure ignorance. Russian gas imports to Europe have been reduced not stopped. With OPEC+ Having decided to cut production the pain is very much not over. If Russia decided to fully turn off the taps it would be ruinous for them, but the west would absolutely experience far worse pain than have already.

                The leverage those provide are minor at best. Nuclear escalation is a game that ends in Russia being annihilated. Its only a question of how much the West is willing to entertain the notion of diplomacy with Putin that we are limiting our support. The leverage is more with China in that we need to put up a display of support and not outright proxy warfare.

                In terms of natural gas, Europe is already securing enough alternative production that a crisis is highly unlikely. Obviously OPEC is going to put the boot to them for money, but that is in the grand scheme of things minor. The big problem for Putin is that if he does indeed cut all gas, he has lost his biggest revenue stream, which would rapidly turn his peers against him as they fight over the increasingly small pie.

                In a vacuum, sure there could be a deal made. But Ukraine is winning the war, Russia is losing the war. and that is only becoming more obvious as time goes on. Public opinion in both the US and Europe is still very pro Ukrainian. Unless people start freezing to death, the outcome is certain.

        I mean the CoD writers were right about Russians committing war crimes in 2019 game and the Russians b***hing hard about it/crying they would never do warcrimes or celebrate them. Ironically, the writers were vindicated.

          They were vindicated anyway. All of Russian warfare history is littered with war crimes. Even populations they moved through but weren't actually warring against still suffered at their hands.

          In an ironic way, MW19 ended up being an extremely pro-russian game. The MW19 russias are everything the modern russians wish they were: competent and brutal. The MW19 russian army would BTFO the IRL one and still have time to commit war crimes.

            The protagonist will probably run into his Ukrainian-bro as soon as he gets in-theater. They'll have some cool guy interaction (picrel) which will transition into the Ukrainian giving the player the plot rundown (this mostly be an explanation for why Russia is not a joke in-universe: probably the cliche "new strongman" who consolidated his position through hyper-nationalism and revachism, who is exploiting Russia's natural resources to pay for his new war machine--- the only change will be that this time it's lithium, not oil)
            The Ukraine-bro will be the best character in the game by far and he will almost certainly die at the end of the second mission in circumstances that demand avenging.

        Not to mention it will be absolutely packed with Ukrainian shipyards assembling new Ukrainian naval craft at a frightening speed.

        Ukraine MUST protect its ocean and maritime fleets from interference, especially in the event America is preoccupied by a war with China.

        No way Crimea is ever going to become a US Naval Base, not in this century at least. Ukraine will take control and use it's ports to dominate the Black sea and to trade with Turkey, Georgia, Romania, Bulgaria, and more than likely Russia. Additionally, if turkey and Ukraine control the entrance of the black sea, you can expect NATO war ships conducting 24/7 patrols.

        I don't believe Russia will ever maintain dominance in the black sea once Sevastopol is in Ukraine hands.

        We don't need Crimea as a naval base. The only reason the US would want a substantial naval presence in the Black Sea is if there was some regional crisis, in which case, I imagine Ukraine would be very willing to free up dock space for the USN.

          What might the new Ukraine Navy look like? I know they have corvettes from Turkey coming in but I can't imagine them operating any heavy ships in their inventory. Frigates and corvettes with a heavy focus on anti-ship/anti-air supplemented with future drone/very-low-crew direct combat ships like Sea Hunter and like stuff?

            Given that Ukraine is not a rich nation and its immediate concern doesn't extend past the Black Sea, the three corvettes they've got on order, one or two frigates purchased second hand, some missile boats and fast attack craft, a few minelayers/sweepers, auxillary vessels as needed, and a decently sized land based naval air arm and defence batteries. Probably no more than 25-30 vessels total. Within a decade and a half, depending on their economy, they'll start a replacement and expansion program with eyes to expand naval presence to the Med, north Atlantic, and Horn of Africa, and join in on NATO operations.

    I think at this point what people arguing pro-Russia aren't considering is what it means if Ukraine actually gets that far. It won't be like a reset to 2014, because the very fact that Ukraine in this scenario has pushed that far means Russia has utterly collapsed. Ukraine will be high on victory, with momentum, by that point a stupendously hardened and experienced, well equipped modern army, and fully unified nation behind it. If Russia wanted to reset the clock and keep Crimea even let alone those two, the time to do it would be NOW. Or better yet this summer, before all the current victories. If they wait until Ukraine has already completely crushed them, crushed the "land bridge", has done 99% of the work, undoubtedly uncovered numerous more atrocities along the way, and is now breathing on the door it's too fricking late. Might be "years of defenses" but that's still heavily dependent on Ukraine being much weaker and Russia stronger. Ukraine with high precision modern weapons and drones and intel will pick it part. Ukraine also has no reason to hold back, they can cut the Crimea bridge and fresh water and everything.

    So yeah, if it actually gets that far it's already over and Russia is getting 100% evicted and fast too. Though undoubtedly snowgeria will once again threaten NOOOOOOOKS at that point.

      Also a nation that is sick of war. Not kiddin. They may push the borders to the next town by "we advooonced and took it, it's now ours", but I don't see the Ukrainian populace being in support of conquering Russia. I might be wrong, however, and it's somewhat likely that they deliberately claim a sizeable buffer zone.

        I have no idea what you're fricking talking about anon? I only said Ukraine would take back all its territory, not just stop at pre-invasion#1 borders. I didn't say they'd try to conquer Russia and I don't think they will. They don't need to, kicking Russia out completely is enough. They can secure and fortify after that, their trajectory is far better then Russia, they just need time to capitalize on that. In 5 years let alone 10 they'll be untouchable and it'll take a generation or three of peace before that starts to slacken. Meanwhile Russia governance, demographics and economics will continue the plunge down the cliff.

    The BEST (for Russia) scenario on the table for Crimea is a demilitarized and autonomously administered neutral region.

    Perhaps a demilitarized region under Ukrainian administration with Visa-less travel for puccians

      Ukraine won't accept any demilitarized areas because that would allow Russia to just invade again later.

    I expect Kherson to fall before the onset of Winter. Ukies will consolidate gains and shore up Bhakmut defences if it hasn't fallen. Winter will be an attritional but low level struggle. Russian morale will be completely bumfricked by the time spring arrives. Winter will see increased partisan and SOF activity with the long hours of darkness. Once Russians that Evropa hasn't frozen to death they'll lose hope. By Summer 2023 when the ground has dried out, UA will drive straight through from Western Luhansk, Kherson and Zhaporizia. They'll go around or take Melitopol, cut off Crimea and then siege Mariupol. Game over. 100k plus Vatniks/Mobiks will die.

        The ukies have plenty of HIMARS to keep shafting the russian resupply efforts to the area and the only russian reinforcements will be untrained zero-morale conscripts.
        I don't see the russian army lasting long in such an indefensible position.

          I can see them retreating into Kherson's urban core to use the city's population as hostage against artillery, but I also see Ukraine's response being to sweep the outskirts and using artillery to hit Russian positions deep on the other side of the river.

              We need to find the shills after the war and ensure they're killed as subversives. That's wise strategy and the records of their work will be traceable with AI. They imagine that cannot happen because (by the quality of their posts) it's obvious they're primitive even by Russian standards.

    Well, things have slowed down a bit. Perhaps because the Ukies are rotating fresh soldiers in to relieve the battle groups who took Kharkiv (and who are now, essentially, beseiging Kherson.)

    Crimea out of all of them have chance to be semi autonomous region, like Hong Kong used to be in China, two systems one country, that was already in initial plans by the government after results of legal referendums that Ukraine held before 2014 Russian annexation happened.

    I think Ukraine should begin asserting its independence from Russia in other ways.

    Apparently watermelon is known in Ukraine, but not a commonly used ingredient (slices, squares, juice, etc.) in its cuisine.

    Same with cherries. They're known to Ukraine but also not a common culinary ingredient.

    Ukraine needs to start creating more dishes that have absolutely no ties to the Vatniks.

        Russia, unsurprisingly, doesn't seem to be a fruit-centric cuisine culture.

        The addition of fruit-heavy dishes and increased use of fruit in Ukrainian cuisine would make an easy way to tell apart Ukrainian food from Russian.

        It would also have the national security bonus of making Ukrainians HEALTHIER than Russians.

      Are you kidding me? Its used a lot in desserts, from varenyky to cakes. Cherry trees have a big cultural significance too, one of the most famous pieces of Ukrainian poetry which is generally regarded as a depiction of idyllic life and family starts with the passage about cherry trees.
