My enemy's enemy is my friend.If they can pass through Ukrainian lines. That might be a hurdle.
Nice! Let's now take a detailed look at the next significant target on the way to Melitopol, the Russian-fortified town of Tokmak.

Any member of Wagner Group found on Ukraine proper has an extremely low life expectancy.Not when they include war criminals. Zelenskyy wouldn't survive the scandal.

A 3D Look at Tokmak
I haven’t had much time to do these diaries lately, so this will have to be fast. Hopefully we’ll see a big push in the south now that Ukraine has taken Robotyne and many eyes are turning to Tokmak. I know that this may be a ways away yet, but one can...www.dailykos.com
I wonder if the UAF will fight for Tokmak in a Stalingrad (or Bakhmut) like meat grinder, or encircle the town, neutralize its offensive capability through bombardment and starvation, and carry on to Melitopol. The risk of the latter is that with a Russian-held Tokmak in its rear Ukraine's own logistics train is at greater risk of being cut off, whereas an UAF-held Tokmak could serve as a forward logistics hub to support the Melitopol operation.

If they join the Free Russian partisans, they'll have to operate from Belarus or Russia itself or risk a necktie party.
Good to see the Ukrainians 'twigged' the new Russian stealth drone so quickly. Nice to see them 'branching' out.
Sadly, I don't think they survived the last meatgrinder.Look at the road-net; it's scanty. Encirclement will be tough and costly. It looks like the best move is to skirt Tokmak by following the P37 highway, cutting it from the east, and thereby forcing a retreat onto Melitopol. Getting behind that retreat would require a serious off-road effort, which might work. Perhaps work around the Russian left flank and build up a little, and only then cut the communications to the east.
Ukraine cannot afford another meatgrinder.
They are definitely getting to the root of the problem.They're not just all bark, apparently.
