It is highly unlikely that the Russians will allow street battles in any Ukrainian towns and cities. Does that mean they may now be in some sort of dilemma?
The Russians learned much from the battle of Stalingrad, which was waged between August 1942 and February 1943.
The Germans first bombed the city almost to a point of annihilation. In so doing they left the city in a perfect state for Red Army snipers and also made it almost impossible for German tanks to negotiate the streets of the city of Stalingrad.
The Russians will not let that happen in Kharkiv or Kyiv or indeed any Ukrainian urban area.
There is indeed something ironic how President Putin has taken so much from Hitler’s playbook.
Over 100,000 people demonstrated in Berlin yesterday to express their disapproval of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. People all over the world came out in force to say No to Putin.
Today People Before Profit held a demonstration outside the Russian embassy on Dublin’s Orwell Road against the invasion.
It is incomprehensible what is happening. And as Independent TD Cathal Berry said today, the Russian Army has to be stopped.
