The more I listen to Zakharchenko, the more I like him.

In the meantime the Ukies have announced three waves of mobilization, and it is pretty darn clear what they are preparing for: a massive onslaught against Novorussia using huge numbers to compensate for poor training, poor morale, poor tactical skills and poor leadership. My guess (and hope) is that they will lose, but even if they do, it will be a bloodbath.
