    If I was Ukraine I wouldn't be trying to take it back.
    Before they had defenders advantage that forced Russia to throw a shitload of men and gear at it, now they would need to do the same.
    Instead attack somewhere else that Russia has moved forces away from.

      This. Just wait for Russia to eventually over extend like they always do when they gain ground and then strike when they're stretched too thin. It worked in Kharkiv and Kherson, whose to say they won't end up doing it a third time.

      Yeah. Obviously being an armchair general here but pressure from Ukraine in previous counteroffensives have drawn Russian troops away before haven't they? Ukraine needs some new major pushes ASAP. At the same time, NATO needs to get the finger out and up the materiel and quality they're sending over. Some Bradleys are a good start, but proper MBTs and longer range missiles for HIMARS are needed as well.

      This. So far they've had more success doing planned, compound offenses with well executed preparations. Leave meat wave attacks for heroic propaganda villages to Russians.

    Eh, they seem committed enough to eventually take it, and ukies don't really care to hold it beyond "well russkies decided to die here so who am I to stop them"
    So they gonna be pushed out only in spring I guess.

      Nah, Ukraine won't take that deal until public support is gone or they are losing a lot of ground.
      Thanks to Russia's genius move of taking kids and executing civilians I can't see public support ending any time soon.

      All those billions in frozen/seized assets? Going to Ukraine at the end of this. Russia doesn't even have a say.
      And keeping Crimea is both unlikely and even detrimental to Russia because good luck keeping it supplied.

    Attempting to re-take it would be a waste of resources. Instead, Ukraine will probably focus on destroying supply lines and ammunition depots, then attacking somewhere else where the Russians are not as well-prepared.

    I also think that Ukraine should blow up the Crimean bridge again.

      It's guaranteed the Bakhmut front will be the new Kherson for the Russians, so they'll have too many forces there. Pushing them elsewhere will have better results.

      This. For example when Azov still had Mariupol they did lots of raiding and guerilla style hit & run attacks against Russian supply lines trough wast tunnel networks around Mariupol. They literally stopped the whole Russian war machine and won the war in the longrun.

    Mid march it will be abadoooned after it get threatened by an encirclement 20km when the ukies make a new wave of thunderruns.

    Russia will announce that it achieved its goal of evacuation of its citizens. And that the Bradly drive by were in fact very inefficient.

    Would it not make more sense to drive the Russians into the sea at Mariupol, thus cutting off their forces to the south, and forcing them to fight with their only source for supplies from Crimea (which could then be cut off by blowing up Crimea's bridges)?

      Because it opens a massive front vulnerable on both sides. There's no more easy wins, unless RU goes on the offensive, which they're incapable of. Any major UA offense will be extremely costly, there's no way out of that. And I don't think Zelensky wants to risk UA public morale by suffering a bad defeat.

        Then cut off their supplies first, and let them starve in cold trenches until April. Then attack them with western tanks and cluster munitions.

      they bought most of the reserves along the southern axis near melitopol up to bakhmut. the ukrianians really dont want slovyansk and kramatorsk taken because it will break open the entire kharkiv front again

      also what

      said. and if putin really does put in an order for 500k more mobiks (which he absolutely has to if russia ever wants to mount another serious offensive) ukraine is in for a very tough fight

      the real question is going to be how NATO responds to this

      explained, then you also have whatever is happening in Belarus so Ukrainian forces have to also account for another attempt in the north. Frankly, it's really down to resources and manpower available. I am sure things would be 100x better if Belarus wasn't a factor right now.

      Ukraine doesn't have the hardware for this sort of major offensive operation.
      It can happen only if they get modern (i.e. not scraps from the 80s) NATO hardware in bulk (i.e. not just the tiny trickle we see now).

    The problem with Soledar and Bakhmut is they're very close to occupied Donbass where Russians had 8 years to create bases of operations which makes their biggest weakness (logistics) less relevant

    Why would Ukraine focus on retaking it? It's unimportant and the Russians sacrificed countless troops and material to take it. The Ukies hopefully got a good reminder of how stupid it is to attempt an offensive here.

    An offensive down south seems much more probable.

    Why retake it? Ukraine won't this war by committing everything to big battles that take months and produce thousands upon thousands of casualties. They want more offensive like Kharkiv, not like Kherson

      Eventually it has to be retaken if Ukraine wants all of its country back. Now, can this be done by simply retaking more key areas and forcing the Russians out be simply making keeping it untenable? I hope so.

    Depends on whether the planned Russian mega-offensive happens.
    If it happens, Ukraine will be busy defending Lviv and Odessa.
    If it doesn't happen, we can probably follow the Bakhmut timetable and assume that it will happen in a couple of months or a couple of weeks during the regularly planned troop rotations.
