Thanks for the info.
It makes sense. Cauldron is closing. If surrounded, that’s pretty much the end. No reason to let that happen if you can prevent it.
Well, couldn’t withdraw if surrounded, so that’s a lie, and Ukraine’s strategy is to defend, bleed the Russians, withdrawal....repeat and repeat
Look for a weakness, attack then retreat till Russia is overextended then snip off the rear. Worked on North, jury out in East...watching
