consider what the russ are saying bout their reason for their Kharkiv offensive - already stalled the reason given was to have a "buffer zone " the problem I have is it isn't across the whole front --- the anti putin russ force can still move into russia
and the distance gained is not going to make much difference to missiles launched into rusisa by Ukraine - so no , not an effective buffer
another fail is Chasiv Yar .....no gains for a while by the russ and ammo is starting to arrive -- good luck there - another russ fail Chasiv Yar was supposed to have been taken by May 9th
