The Week Ahead in the Russia-Ukraine War

 Well....yesterday, the Ukrainians destroyed the 4th and final bridge in the Kherson area.  This leaves 20,000 Russian conscripts on the wrong side of the river, and without guaranteed logistical lines.  

Use of barges or floating bridges?  Probably the next 'trick' but I'd expect them to be targeted over the next week.  

Pretty good bet that in ten days....some type of re-deployment (retreat) starts to occur, with half of the force moving to the safe side of the river by the end of August.  

A massive mess?  Once the commanders come around and suggest restricted rations and only 1,000 calories of food a day....there's going to be some disgruntled soldiers.
