Big time. I am very worried about the konstanyivykia (sp?) front though. I worry that the lads in the thick of it are tired and overstretched and the flat land behind it is less defensible.
When artillery and troop movements were key then holding an urban environment like that was critical. Now that drones rule, the plains are more defensible than a city, there’s a reason the width of the grey zone / contested zone is much wider now. Losing any ground is obviously not ideal but it’s not as bad a thing as it once was.
