Russia steps up offensive across the front line in Ukraine – CNN

CNN can almost not hide its negative perspective and expectations for Ukraine.

Even if the Russians only advance small bits into Ukraine, the possibility of the collapse of the Ukrainian front is real. Ukraine has no second line to retreat, maybe behind the Dnjeper. If the front line continues to retreat it will soon collapse and the further retreat of the Ukrainian army will be disorganized and desastrous. But very dangerous as extreme reactions may be possible.
