A large column of Russian vehicles is pushing into the city of Sumy from the side of Khimprom, the military administration is reporting.

Civilians are asked to be in a safe place, not to go out unnecessarily and to stay away from windows.

1. I can tell you this.

The Ukrainians are fighting fiercely and bravely in every city you have posted about. The Russians may enter, but they ain't gonna leave unless in body bags. Kiev this morning is in Ukrainian government control. Battles in the city of Kharkiv are raging in the streets and Russians are dying. I could go on but I hope you get the point.

Slava Ukrayini!!

3. From a military strategy analysis...

The Russian actions seem illogical.

They've been feeding small amounts of soldiers into well defended cities. That's not standard protocol.

Standard military protocol demands heavy artillery or aerial bombardment before pushing troops forward.

IF the Russians want to defeat these cities they have to do the same thing they did at the Battle of Berlin in 1945 which was literally moving heavy artillery block by block blasting any building that had Germans firing from the windows.

But that kind of battle might bring NATO military reprisals...

I think the Russians are well and truly fucked.

They cant defeat the Ukrainians without doing the kind of thing that probably attracts too much "heat".

So this looks like a Ukrainian rout if things continue.

If this continues, Russia runs home with tail tucked... and a humiliated Putin gets "retired"...
