Russian invasion of Ukraine

German gov says that among other things they have resupplied Ukraine with missiles for the IRIS-T SLM, which is apparently doing an excellent job of shooting down Russian cruise missiles.

The NASAMS is there now as well and supposed to be far superior. NATO really flexing their muscles.

If russia indeed fully retreat across the Dnipro,
where will Ukraine troops move to:
Donbass or heading south from Zaporizhzhia?

The latter could be too dangerous, any ideas?

It would be a bloodbath for Ukraine following Russia across the 350m wide Dinipro. It really is non starter - It would be the Russian position on the west bank in reverse if the Russians have enough artillery deployed to cover crossing points.
