Russian invasion of Ukraine

It still has effects. Much reduced though.
Brentford (H) and Southampton (LCQF A) spring to mind this season.

Yeah, we had it really hard last season.

i would expect ukraine to lose a lot of troops because they are attacking, think someone on here said earlier in the war russia would loose 5 to every 1 ukrainian due to ukraine defensive positions ,think that was the "rule" of war, maybe not the rule but the expected level

Ukraine can’t afford to lose troops in a 5 to 1 ratio so that’s unlikely be part of their planning.

The Ukrainians appear to be serial problem solvers.

I don't think those ratios are realistic in this case as :)
a) Ukraine are on their own ground
b) they have state of the art weapons
c) the Russians have proven to be tactically inept.

I don't recognise the 5:1 figures from my time in the army. The generally accepted rule was that you needed a 3:1 superiority to attack any particular formation with the implicit assumption that you would win at the end (so be numerically superior at that point) so to lose 5 for every 1 of their wouldn't make sense.

Yeah 3:1 - but the Russian attempts to take back lost trenches ASAP is costing them big time. So too are RUssian blocking units wiping out anyone retreats just a little bit.
It really is bonkers. It's the Russians doing the Ukrainians assaults for them in slow motion.

Just tried to view the news on Al Jazeera, but it's just a blank screen, so must be blocked.

I always like to get the news/reports from different perspectives, rather than just from the spoon-fed Sky News!

British Intelligence stating that the reason the Wagner uprising didn’t reach Moscow was due to threats made to harm their families. What a lovely country Russia is, Wagner and the Kremlin deserve each other.
