    September 22 starts Fall. Winter is coming.

    Tell them not to get stuck in Russia. I hear it’s bad strategy.

      I know this applies to the French and to Germans, but does the rule hold for Ukrainians?

      My understanding is the Ukrainians do very well on defense. Pushing into Russia forces Russia to attack them, even in the winter. Otherwise they’d stop the attack until spring/summer. If they let Ukraine hold this ground until then though that’s a huge loss for Russian PR at least. Ukraine probably won’t attack in the winter, which is the issue, but Russia will probably be forced to.
