The Russian are trying to safe the villages by destroying them. Basically turn them into moonscape by pounding with massive artillery’s attacks. After they destroy everything and kill all the civilians they claim they came to save, they move in and start again.
Barbaric!
So far they moved several miles, here or there!
Sort of like when trying to take over Texas, they moved from Eagle Pass, half way to Uvalde, in 3 months, by way of destroying everything on the way.
Ukraine is finally getting some better arms and improving training of their drafted people.
Right now, because of the mobilization, Ukraine army has about 3x more soldiers on the battlefield, but they are mostly lacking arms, especially in artillery.
Big part of Ukrainian army is local militia, armed with shotguns and whatever they can get hold of.
No uniforms.
That’s why they need all the support they could get.
They are willing to fight, but they need some arms!
The only ones shelling civilian areas are the Ukrainians. They are using American made and supplied weapons against their own people. Add to that, the places where the Ukrainians are using civilian populations as human shields. The Ukrainians that survive are begging the Russians to protect them.

So were the Japs and the Nazi’s. The corrupted little beggar Zelensky is no different. He is “ demilitarizing “ Ukraine single handedly, when the conflict is over, there will be no Ukie soldiers left in the post war environment….and Vlad says Checkmate, again.
The Russians learned from Afghanistan and by watching the US failure in Afghanistan and Iraq.
We moved rapidly into the capitol of Iraq and proclaimed victory...except, the Iraqis simply melted into the woodwork like cockroaches. Same in Afghanistan. We then had a 20 years running battle with the leftovers from the invasions.
Never did subdue the Taliban now did we?
The Russians decided that it be better to advance slowly and eliminate all enemy after they take small areas. At least it looks that way.
