Article says they’ve been hitting staging areas inside Russia taking out people before they move in.
The outcome of that would they’d seemingly have to move the staging areas back further into Russia.
What kind of benefit would that end up having for Ukraine?
Seems like they’d get more notice before things started moving, and maybe be able to target them with missles due to more notice?
Anything else?
Yeah, this is the war Ukraine has been fighting all along; they’re just able to do it more.
It pushes back supply lines. Ammo takes longer to get to the people who need it. If something goes wrong for the Russians on the front, it takes longer to get reinforcements. When Ukraine mounts an offensive, it weakens Russian defense. It also reduces how far into Ukraine Russia can strike with some types of artillery, because they have to position the guns farther back. Staging is harder; Russia has to sneak together assault groups farther, giving Ukraine more opportunity to notice and prepare.
Ukraine is making it harder for Russians to keep troops supplied, forcing them to stretch their supply lines, which also make them easier to attack and disrupt. The farther back they can push staging areas, the harder and slower it is for Russia to mount assaults.
Just thinking on that more, it’s kinda insane how Ukraine had limitations on striking these staging areas right on the border in the first place.
The whole thing is insane. How many world leaders shake hands with Zelenskyy and smile to his face, knowing their half hearted response means more suffering and loss for Ukraine? It’s insane that this is still being allowed to continue.
Oh that’s a lot more benefits, that’s wonderful!
…taking out people before they move in.
They meant move into Ukraine
Do it again! And again and again and again!!!
Oh no! Anyway…
Kabom.
