Ukrainian War Developments

The latest Russian movements and reinforcements suggest that the Russians are not just focusing on the Donbas. Large armored concentrations are now entering Ukraine around Sumy and Kharkiv as well. This does make sense strategically, since the Russians can't leave the Kharkiv front too exposed, otherwise the Ukrainians might counter-attack along their vulnerable flanks in Luhansk. It seems what's changing is that the Russians are just deploying to the eastern front all along the former border with Ukraine. This makes it easier to resupply their armies and makes the Russian war effort much more focused and concentrated. Kyiv and Chernihiv were disasters from the start, so the Russians were right to get out of there. We'll see if they have better luck around Sumy and Kharkiv the second time around.

One thing is clear: as long as Russia occupies parts of Ukraine, all cooperation with Russia will be gradually reduced. Some things happened quickly, as you can see from the sanctions. Other things take longer, like the cooperation in the ISS or the oil and gas deliveries. You can't just turn off the gas tap, you would have to burn the extracted gas on the spot. All boreholes are now gradually being sealed until the last gas has been delivered in a year and a half.

After that, Russia is isolated like North Korea.
