Analysts fear that Ukraine could be losing the upper hand in the Donbas, leaving it vulnerable to being wholly seized by Russia.

The Donbas region refers to the Donetsk and Luhansk provinces in the easternmost part of Ukraine.

Losing Severodonetsk would be a major blow to Ukraine, analysts agree, and there are concerns that the country's forces could be starting to lose momentum in the fight against Russia's re-focused onslaught.Smoke and dirt rise from shelling in the city of Severodonetsk during fight between Ukrainian and Russian troops in the eastern Ukrainian region of Donbas on June 7, 2022.

Tursa said the situation in Donbas reflects Russia's military advantages, including much greater firepower and troop numbers. Worryingly for Ukraine, Russia also appears to have sharpened its strategic nous. "This is the part of the war that one really worries about because it's a war of attrition because it's just Russia throwing tons and tons of crap equipment into the battle. It's them using the Donetsk and Luhansk fighters as cannon fodder. It's them just drawing upon their huge human resources and there is the chance [Ukraine is] going to lose more land."

It's already more or less over, Russia has secured their primary goalposts. Ukraine refuses to cede territory and demand more things use and beg for more volunteer cannon fodder to guilt trip with like they did with civilian infrastructure including schools and hospitals

I don't think it will last that long because neither side has the man power to fight that long .
