The Russian soilders are just zombies.
Attack and probably die or retreat and die as the 2nd line won't let you through as they would be next in the grinder (they haven't worked out that that will happen anyway) and then the third blocking line kills anyone who comes their way.

Taking out artilary is vital. Ukraine is getting better at it but it needs to be top notch.

It’s like the eastern front in the 40s. It’s a shame these forced soldiers can’t surrender, I’ve no doubt they’d do so in droves. Utter waste of life and resources. Fuck Putin

i wonder if that will be how this ends. And potentially quite swiftly if Ukraine starts taking lots of territory quickly.
