Russia Ukraine war, page-231406

1. a large part of that was a good precis of the war so far

2.The Ukrainian army is obviously unable to push the Russians back in the Kharkiv Donetsk direction.
there has been ground taken back in Kharkiv if small and slowly , while incremental gains keeps being made by russia in the east

3. I didn't say "will" if you read what I wrote .....I said "if" Ukraine had the available troops Crimea was vulnerable - the most isolated and hence the most vulnerable part of occupied territory .
Nor did I say Ukraine would be successful if it was attempted ....simply that would be challenging logistically for russia to defend if Ukraine ever got a foothold

connection to russia by sea - by Kerch Bridge and by road and rail via the narrow ishtmus where Ukraine meets Crimea .
the first already cut off , the second very vulnberable to attack and will likely be attacked ....the third to a lesser extent but still vulnerable and on it's own may not be sufficient .
Ukraine can't do it presenmtly ....doesn't mean they won't be able to later
