Melitopol has long been the most obvious place to attack. Anyone looking at a map can see that. imho it should have been attacked when the russians were still on the west side of the dneiper.

now the russians are heavily fortifying it with troops they’ve redeployed from west of the dneiper. No surprise if the Ukes hit melitopol

Attacking Melitopol is so obvious, the Ukies may attack at a different place. If they are announcing that they will attack Melitopol, it probably means to expect something different. The weather is getting colder, and the Ruskies will die of hypothermia, especially if the Ukies can keep hitting the supply lines. That presents more opportunities for a counter attack in more places.

The Russians lack the logistical capability to move and have not actually done so
