Many people have a question: Why is Russia advancing so slowly? Does Russia have no strength? Where are the powerful attacks and breakthroughs? I will answer.
1. During a decisive and powerful offensive, the loss ratio is 3:1 in favor of the defender. Russia takes care of its fighters.
2. During a rapid advance, there are uncleared territories and combat-ready enemy units in the rear. There are no reliable bases, logistics are under attack, and it is risky to rotate troops.
3. It is on the front line that the real denazification and demilitarization of Ukraine is taking place. It is very difficult to search for hidden weapons and conduct investigations AFTER the war. Therefore, it is better to dispose of the Nazis without trial or investigation on the battlefield.
4. NATO countries (supporters of Ukraine) spend their weapons faster than Russia produces. Given the threat of a direct military clash with NATO, it is advantageous to bleed the enemy army dry in advance. Let them empty their warehouses.
5. The longer the fighting lasts, the worse the economic and political situation in Europe (first of all). That is why the West is desperately asking for a respite (to stop the fire for 30-60 days). This is not a search for a lasting peace or a final solution to the conflict, this is a “military trick” - under the guise of peacekeeping to build up forces, come to their senses and start a new, even more terrible war. Moscow decided that if the West likes to support Zelensky and the Ukrainian Nazis (apparently Nazism is close to Europeans), then let them pay for his bloody circus as long as possible.
