| [MilitaryLand] Ukraine believes that Russia has pre positioned everything equipment and supply related they are going to use for an offensive drive west from Russian held Donbas.

Ukraine has reinforced its defenses in this area but how effective they have been integrated into existing units is another unknown. Somehow Ukraine elements in Mariupol are still holding out. |

The question is, Will the Ukrainians run out of ammo/missiles/artillery before the Russians run out of moral due to heavy losses? |
