I wouldn't jump to too many conclusions yet, but arguably the most important battle in this war is the successful defense mounted by Ukrainian forces in the Hostomel, Bucha, and Irpin areas NW of Kyiv since Feb 24. It may ultimately be regarded as the decisive battle of the war.

First signs that some Russian troops are indeed retreating from the Kyiv direction. Large numbers of BMDs with Russian and VDV flags were spotted today on their way from the Ukrainian border to Belarus' Rechitsa and Gomel where they were loaded onto railway platforms. https://t.co/6B5qTsgFRq

@Cyberdefensecom The biggest unknown of the war, is the current state of the Ukr regular formations.

We mostly see light units, but I suspect their mechanized units and artillery have been absolutely vital in halting the Russian offensive.

Mech units are needed for larger counter-offensive.

Even if Western countries pare back some sanctions, I doubt many Western corporations will return to Russia, and the EU's emphasis on reducing its energy dependence on Russia will continue.

@mrsorokaa:
The main question now, is what happens to Western sanctions if Ukraine and Russia do sign a peace treaty.

If sanctions are lifted, it will be a major win for Putin.
