Great Power contentions

As someone who questioned the chances for Russia's quick victory early on, I'm impressed at what the Ukrainians have accomplished so far in their current counteroffensive. This is considering that the Russians were expecting it to start eventually and considering that the Russians had a lot of time to prepare their defenses. Ukraine still needs to be careful because there are multiple layers of the Russian defense lines. I find this to be similar to the tactic that the Soviets used during the Battle of Kursk. And Ukraine forces don't outnumber the Russian ones overwhelmingly. Looking on the bright side, I heard that the southern front is harder for the Russians to supply due to its geography. The location sticks out from the rest of the Russian positions. Behind them is the sea. As the offensive continues, the Russians at the southern front might run low on supplies.

I hope this war ends in Ukraine's favor, and I hope the war doesn't continue on for too long after this offensive.
