With the fall of Krasnohorivka, the only heavily fortified areas still held by the Ukrainians are those of the Toretske/New York agglomeration opposite Horlivka and Ugledar in the south east corner of the front. The fortified areas of Bakhmut, Avdiivka, Pisky, Pervomaiske, Marinka, Novomykhailivka and Krasnohorivka have all fallen. The Toretske/New York agglomeration is now open to being surrounded from the south, as the Russians drive north from Ocheretyne and from the north after Chasiv Yar falls. The advance of the Russians from Novomykhailivka to Konstyantynivka will cut off the last major supply route to Ugledar, facilitating its fall. Both objectives may very well have been achieved by the start of Summer. At that point there will be none of the fortifications that have stood and been reinforced for a decade left, and the colossal levels of corruption within the Ukrainian state sucked away much of the money meant for additional fortified lines of defence and minefields.
It was a gross understatement, I admit, but in my defense, I am naturally cynical and sarcastic when it comes to our 'elite' classes and couldn't help myself.
There are a several people in the leadership of the Western world who desperately need to be repeatedly punched in the face!
Probably more than 'several'. In the UK alone there are hundreds.

Well, I hope we get chance to do it, or at least see it. Stay cool 👍🏼
Seems reasonable.
