In reply to penny2.

I don’t know that Russia will move to far west? I’ve never considered that as a possibility, but, who knows. I do think they will go to Odessa.
And likely use the Dneiper river as a natural buffer.
Poland may take a chunk of territory back.
Possibly Hungary?

In reply to Gary Wilson. Hi Gary, This is a war that didn't need to happen. And came very close to not happening had the UK not interceded. Boris Johnson was pivotal in shutting down diplomacy, had he not, the US would have done so anyway.. For the simple reason it was the US that wanted this proxy war. Diplomacy is better,always. Ukraine is lost.

Hi Penny:
I think the Russian army’s march west will be done with caution to minimize the loss of Russian lives. There is no need to rush as Ukraine will not be winning any of these types of battles. It appears to me that not only has Ukraine lost the ability for a counter offensive but they also don’t have the ability for a successful defence. They don’t have enough properly trained personnel, they lack sufficient ammunition for the job and Russia has the superior weapons and control of the air. I have been against this proxy war because I am against the inhumane loss of Ukrainian lives. Also, I don’t think war is a way to resolve disputes. Diplomacy is better, I think.
