Even as the circumstances of the Russian invasion of the Ukraine appear to be reshaping for the potential run up to a winter's war in the Ukraine, the question of how the planning for developing a new set of tactics might be in the offing as the issues of defending any further incursions near the Kriim are contemplated and new advice must needs be sought.
The evidence appears to support the situation of an eventual Ukrainian capitulation; but at what cost?
The Ukraine has already been put in the position of diminshed territorial claims, but how much more than the Donbas is further understood to be at stake as the Russian ponders what will be sacrficed to achieve the goals.
It is expected that the self-imposed referendum for expanding territorially will cost more in terms of increasing regional influences at the expense of the Ukraine: how much more does the Russian intend to invest in Russian commerce in order to achieve that aim: what are the rewards and who does the Russian have to support that at the expense of the Russian economy?
More importantly, the military heirarchy has taken a hit in the field as well and that has to put some pressure on the process of determining what more military resources are at stake.
This has to bring more pressure when cosidering the Russian has more that the Ukraine on his mind.
Like the quip says; more is coming; but how much more?
