Gen. Robert Abrams: 'Time is not on the Russian’s side' The recent discussion featuring retired General Robert Abrams brings critical insights into the ongoing situation in Ukraine, specifically after the reported seizure of the southern city of Kherson by Russian forces. In this engaging segment, General Abrams emphasizes the significance of this development and its tactical implications for both Russia and Ukraine.

Key Points from General Abrams’ Analysis:​

1. Strategic Importance of Kherson:
   • The fall of Kherson allows Russian troops to establish a foothold on the west side of the Dnipro River, which runs through Ukraine. This position could provide them with a tactical advantage as they potentially move westward.
   • Control of Kherson also threatens Ukraine’s economy, as it secures a route for Russian forces to disrupt trade through the crucial Black Sea area.
   []Potential for Additional Losses:
   • Although Kherson's seizure holds considerable weight, General Abrams noted that its long-term significance could diminish if other major cities do not soon fall under Russian control.
   []Logistical Challenges for Russia:
   • Abrams highlighted reports indicating that Russian troops are facing shortages of food and fuel, stemming from stretched supply lines. This situation might hinder their operational capabilities as they had planned for a quick campaign rather than a prolonged one.
   • He likened the situation to a prizefighter overextending and becoming vulnerable, suggesting that if logistical problems remain unresolved, it could critically undermine Russian military efforts.
2. Kiev's Situation:
   • With a massive Russian convoy moving toward the capital, Abrams discussed the unpredictable nature of the conflict ahead. He expressed admiration for the resilience demonstrated by Ukrainian leadership and citizens.
   • Despite the dire circumstances, he drew historical parallels, recalling the Siege of Leningrad during World War II, where potential outcomes were bleak but resilience shone through.
