Culmination Analysis
Jonathan discusses the concept of culmination in the Ukrainian offensive. Key points:
- Anders Puck Nielsen believes the offensive has not culminated and can continue
- Jonathan thinks there is a slowing down and culmination to some degree
- Ukrainians still have momentum and upper hand, may just need to regroup and continue
- Culmination depends on ammunition supplies which are key
- Russians may not be able to hold out until after March 17 elections without more mobilization
- Opportunity for Ukrainians to keep pressure and find a breakthrough before then
Kherson Update
- Russians claim Ukrainians are preparing to cross Dnipro River and break through defences
- Ukrainians may be massing troops and equipment as contingency if breakthrough happens in Robotyne
- Lots of Ukrainian riverine boat activity, purpose unclear if harassing Russians or foreshadowing attack
