Ukraine

at some point UA will have to go on the offensive in that region which is a totally different tact from "Defensive"

I had read a thread about from Gen. Hertling not to long ago about the logistics of doing that.

I am thinking an attempt will come in the south to sever that "land bridge" and we end up just where we were in 2014 with exception of Mariupol.

Some think that NATO should pressure Ukraine to "pocket" its gains and not push for expelling Russian forces from all of Ukraine because it would be costly (lives) and risky. I think the whole point of much of this is to let Ukraine make its own decisions about what happens in Ukraine.
