Crimea is all but neutralised and it costs russia so much money in military hardware trying to rearm it.

Thanks, good detailed article.

That single bridge is not a threat for Ukraine and it was never enough to guarantee civil and military supply on Crimea. It can even last as a symbol for foolish glory when Ukrainians got Crimea back one day and justice is done, hopefully.

The article also points out the systemic advantages of a free thinking Ukraine over a lazy authoritarian putin-russia. Ukrainians are making ice cold analyzes of complex situations and come up with creative solutions. They seem to be 5 moves ahead in chess terms (as the title mentions "gambit" for a reason), at any point - while putin is making weak decisions due to status battle and the typical pride of an emperor.

Ukraine and Europe need to get used to cope with 2 sinister powers and being strategically smart and creative maybe is our only life belt.

Seriously? Would have though they needed all the market for oil they can get, and Hungary is a key ally.

Well you'd think so - but - It's a perfect opportunity to blame Ukraine!
And in the scheme of things the amount of petrochemical products concerned isn't great.

Professor Michael Clarke with a live Q and Answer, he did with Sky news within the last 10 hours.

It's 45 minutes long, so only watch if you have that amount of time spare to watch and listen. He's one of the best commentor's on the war. He's very much in Ukraines camp, but he deals in facts and he's not spouting Ukraine propaganda.

Ukraine Invasion Day 1,339: UKR attack by five drones on the Novokuibyshevsk Oil Refinery

According to sources present at Friday's meeting, Trump insulted Zelensky, demanded that he abandon Donbass, and threatened that Ukraine would freeze and die in the winter. Russia’s long-range strike campaign continues to target critical Ukrainian...

Killing civilians and murdering prisoners-of-war as well as torturing civilians and captured soildiers does wonders to stop Ukrainian resistance...
