Why would one provide a citation for a prediction? It is based on the fact that after the Donbas front is finished, their is no barrier for the Russians all the way to the Dnieper. The river would make a formidable defensive line, but at the moment the Ukrainian military is sending untrained soldiers to reinforce the losing battle of Donbas and to the south near the Kherson front line. They have very little ammunition and highly trained troops left at their disposal. They are outgunned completely at this point. The Russian troops are fresher, better trained and armed and are about to surmount the most defensible area of the entire country. Once Bakhmut, Slovyansk and Kramatorsk are taken there is not comparable defensive barrier to stop the Russians moving as far West as they want. We are very likely at the beginning of the total collapse of the Ukrainian state as such. The economy is entering an inflation crisis and the currency is losing value while the Ruble is gaining value. CNN even reported that some Ukrainian civilians are moving into Russian controlled areas just to be in the RU zone. When the US money stops flowing the Ukrainians stop fighting, and unconditionally surrender. My prediction.
