What you’re referring to Russia retreated to east bank and ensconced
Ukraine took cities they can’t occupy in force for fear of steady bombardment

It’s smart of Ukraine though
If offensives wins they claim victory
If they fail then they were only probes they’ll say anyhow
They have to do something
The pressure from us has to be heavy
