As has been mentioned so much subterfuge, misdirection and propaganda etc. hard to get any clear idea. Still no harm in speculation. BEEN FOLLOWING HERE

Eventually, they are going to want to try and link up in Kharkiv and grab everything south and east, but that will take re-enforcements

So what are Russia's next moves militarily, rumors of an Odessa amphibious landing

Is this a feint to draw Ukrainian forces closer in to get pounded from shelling? or is it a legit attempt at an amphibious landing? These are notoriously difficult to pull off, though a successful landing could re-enforce Russian Federation troops. Possibly an attempt to roll eastward or head north and try and close off and hold ss much territory as possible

Seems like they are waiting until they take control of Mykolaiv and Odessa. Then they will use those forces to reinforce. Probably to take control of Kharkiv like you said. Also to establish a reliable supply line because their logistics is getting eaten up.

Siege tactics

Bring the artillery forward and level every town city and forest they find Ukrainians in

Same as Syria & Grozny

And with some added Syria & Georgia play book material, chemical weapons attacks

Russias playbook is obvious to anybody paying attention

After two weeks the Russian military still doesn’t have air superiority, it’s suffered heavy aircraft losses, it’s done the majority of its laser guided munitions now relies of dumb bombs and while flying at 1,000 ft because Ukraines air defence is still majority active, it’s main columns are stalked due to food and fuel shortages because they can’t protect their supply columns, it frankly embarrassing

The only way forward is siege tactic and chemical & biological weapons, and I think Putins psychotic enough to use whatever means necessary to get his conquest of Ukraine in the bag. He probably gets his confidence from tucker Carlson and Woke’anon that he’s doing the right thing killing civilians and stealing an entire country

I hope that they can come to an agreement and soon
still there are regions in the east and Crimea to sort out
Russia has to give a little,it seems increasingly likely they will have no choice.

I can't see them going chemical or biological, but I agree if they can continue to resupply and reinforcements and pound those areas they can. The problem seems though, is once they move artillery forward sooner or later they lose it to counterattacks or lose any support troops/supplies to keep artillery operational.

If losses here are halfway correct they are having multiple problems at being able to execute the bombardment. Made me wonder would they bring in an amphibious reinforcement, but pretty sure an attempt would have intense shelling from support ships and we aren't seeing that.

Doctrinally, the numbers make sense. An invading army should expect three times the losses of the army on the defense if the two armies are equally matched. These numbers suggest that the two militaries are fairly equally matched and that neither side necessarily has a technology advantage. The list of lost equipment also indicates the initial Ukrainian strategies for countering the Russian forces. At the start of the invasion, the Ukrainians targeted Russian tanks in an effort to stall the offensive. Once they succeeded in doing that, they shifted their focus to other Russian vehicles, including command vehicles and sustainment/support equipment. The Ukrainians seem to have specifically targeted engineering assets and recovery vehicles. By taking out these vehicles, the Ukrainian military is limiting Russian movements and further slowing their advance. By slowing the advance, the Ukrainian military additionally stresses the Russian supply lines, which must make sure that vehicles are fueled and soldiers fed.
