But Emil Kastehelmi of the Finnish Black Bird Group said that in Lyptsi, Ukrainians “used depth to their advantage. They pulled out from the most difficult border villages, and are now defending in places where they can better use the terrain.”
“Ukraine has been able to significantly reduce the speed of the attack, and Russia hasn’t been able to gain more than a few fields after their initial success,” he said.
I guess Russia will have to learn the hard way why Ukraine defeated Napoleon and Hitler. You expend valuable troops and supplies and all you have to show for it is some fields in Ukraine. And sanctions too.
They went from a three day operation taking the whole country, to “well maybe we’ll camp out in a field a few miles from the border”. You can’t defeat Ukraine, because they won’t give up. It’s literally throwing money and lives away.
