Ukraine ping
Forbes’s David Axe raises the possibility that Ukraine’s gradual retreat in the East in late spring and early summer may have been part of a deliberate Fabian strategy to trade space for time. By luring the Russians into untenable positions, given their small numbers and educated guesses about the equipment and ammo they had left, the Ukrainians set the stage for the advances of September. How much of the stories about overwhelmed Ukrainians and their massive losses in the course of those retreats were part of an elaborate deception aimed at encouraging further Russian advances might only be known after the conflict is over. This would make it similar to the classic Mongol tactic of the feigned retreat, with large forces lying in wait for the pursuing enemy to tire themselves out.
