THIS map shows what happens when Dnipro and Zaporizhia are taken -- and why.
TL;DR (Or map won't come up clean): Dnieper River access is totally controlled by these two cities. Russia has much of the river locked up, already. Once these key industrial inland-port cities fall, Kiev will be landlocked to the south, with no water transport for, really, anything. It's best bet, then, is to BEG to be annexed into an EU country? I dunno; maybe Poland will agree to take the dregs? I guess that would finally get Zelensky NATO membership? Or does it not count, if he is no longer in charge of anything...?
But I don't understand why the battle maps aren't on the nightly news.... Zim, do your sites discuss how critical these two cities are for Kiev?
I was trying to find a good, up to date map of the current battle lines, but I couldn't get the damned map to hold still. If anyone can link that, I'm sure the board would like to see it.
