Ukraine

Is Ukraine making a mistake by committing so many forces to the Southern front while Russia seems to be doubling down in Donetsk? Bakhmut (sp?) has been holding strong but Russia is making small but steady gains and looks to be trying encircle the city. They're sending a lot of their veteran troops to the area along with lots of cannon fodder. I know those mobilized troops are ineffective for the most part but you still have to spend time and resources to kill them when you need to be killing the real soldiers.

If you don't value human life cannon fodder is a good idea. Sadly Russia has a huge pool of men to sacrifice and doesn't seem to have any problem doing it.
