Ukraine’s inability to demonstrate decisive success on the battlefield is stoking fears that the conflict is becoming a stalemate and international support could erode.
I’m not seeing a “mesh” on that map. I’m seeing a line. There’s a speckling of fortifications deeper in, but a military that has broken through that line isn’t going to have much trouble with a speckling. That’s the “gooey center” I was talking about. The main strength is concentrated along the line.
Yes, that’s exactly what I’m talking about. That’s the thick crust of defensive lines. Once you’re through that it becomes easier to move.
The whole point here is that people are complaining that the offensive is “moving slowly” and I’m pointing out that of course it’s moving slowly, it has to get through the most heavily defended regions first. Once it’s done that it’ll move more quickly.
Ok, a thick line. Haven’t you seen the map?
