The mud and debris around the river will take months to both dry and be cleaned up, and teh lakes/swamps created/refilled by the flood will be a problem for a while.
I expect several sorties by the Ukrainians within the next week or two, and potentially a major push if they can find an exploit.
...maybe; there are ways to do crossings in situations like this; it's just none are...'good' options in most cases, as long as Russia has local arty superiority, and Ukraine does not have air superiority yet.
Well... North and South America don't have that problem because the people who had hundred's of years of ethnic grievances got pretty much wiped out. In the wars where they were, long standing divisions were used to pit one group of native people against another regularly. Though, last time the USA had a big war on their home turf it did in fact lead to some small degree of conflic over ethnic grievance. In Africa you don't tend to see ethnic grievances, because there's greater ethnic homogeneity. Even then you do get some, and you certainly do get hundred's of years old tribal or similar grievances when things kick off. Same for the middle east, and to a degree south-east Asia.
Ummm...may want to invest in some QC there Vlad.
Eh, lot's of Russian arty ammo is from the North Korean's these days, often passed into the CCP and reskinned as CCP products to dodge sanctions.
I forgot about that. Most North Korean factories are prison slave labour and still use hand tools from WW1 for the majority. Which granted works for Russian style tubes. But leaves much to be desired especially with an angry, starving death camp labor force.
