“This is a planned slow operation to grind the enemy, saving the lives of our military and civilians,” Oleksiy Arestovych, a Ukrainian presidential adviser, wrote on Telegram early Tuesday. “Of course, many would like a large-scale offensive with news about our military’s capture of one settlement an hour. But we don’t fight like that. And our means are limited.”
Really not familiar with Ukrainian military thinking or their real capabilities. However if an American General had a hard pressed enemy force with very limited supply capabilities, its back against a natural barrier with only a very limited means of withdrawal, that general would muster whatever force he could , seize the unique opportunity and attack.
