It seems that they are currently trying to take the Russian forces in Northern Ukraine, the ones that were clearing out Kursk, where the Ukrainians were in Kursk and Russia, and they're trying to steamroll it across the international border into Sumy, and possibly into neighboring Northern Kharkiv oblasts in Ukraine. Now, candidly, Mike, I got to tell you, I'm not my...

My forecast is not particularly grim on this operation. The Russian forces that they have up there has not been significantly augmented from what they were operating with in Kursk. It's about ballpark 60 to 70,000 guys, so maybe six, seven divisions or so.

A lot of the same units that have been there for a long time, we've not indicated any redeployments of bringing in fresh troops that those forces that were tired fighting and expelling the Ukrainians from Kursk They're not going to have a lot of gusto and energy to keep going into Sumi.

And that'd be kind of hard for the course. I mean, the Russians, winter of Benthev has concluded.

And the Russians failed with their winter offensive in Donbas to take their objective for the all 2024 offensive, which was taking Pokrovsk. So, I'm sure they're going to make some tactical gains. They're going to make some territorial gains. They'll get some villages and fields.

They might even get a couple of small towns and stuff, but they're not going to be making any operational breakthroughs, that's for sure. Okay.
