Strong resistance to the advance of the Russian army is shown by the Ukrainian forces.
According to relevant maps from the war fronts, the Russian troops seem to have “stuck” in the north.
The Russians chose to move from the National Roadseither from Sumi or from northern areas, not utilizing the roads from areas between the national networks.
Apparently, due to lack of forces, the Russians were unable to move on a wide front to occupy the area.
Given the above, the points on both sides of the road were not cleared, giving the Ukrainian chariot hunters a chance to act by destroying supplies.
It is noted that the advance “on a narrow front” is considered a particularly precarious tactic, within the military schools, and the price of this option seems to be paid by the Russians at this stage as their forces accumulate on a narrow front and in some cases are destroyed invincibly. .
The picture in the South is quite different.
It is recalled that Russian forces yesterday tried to bypass Mykolaiv, turning north in order to locate a passage there unsuccessfully, as it seems they have blocked.
The above strategy of the Russian army could be characterized as “Military gambling” as they bypassed Mykolaiv, they engaged in a “road race” to the north, again following the National Roads, without having previously cleared the side roads again.
They reached almost 100 kilometers north to find either a bridge or a bridge point in the Bosnesec area where they found the area’s bridges blown up and attacked.
In any case, as there were bridges in the area, the mechanical unit of the Russian army dropped floating bridges and so the Russians managed to cross.
Despite the fact that the Ukrainians did not initially have a strong presence on the spot, they managed to advance forces and thus pushed them, according to the relevant reports, further south from the point where they had built floating bridges.
Given the developments, at this time, the forces that had crossed the Bug River, to the west, have no contact with the forces that started from the Crimea.
Based on the above, the Russians are estimated to have no choice but to continue the attacks as they must somehow manage to cross the Bug River and move towards Odessa.
At this point, Russian forces seem to be hoping to encircle Odessa.
In any case, we are not expected to see any amphibious operation before the army reaches at least 40 km from Odessa.
The choice of traffic on the National Roads makes it clear why the Russian army surrounded and bypassed Mariupol, as it was also not possible to clear the side areas and so the E8 National Road was used, to the south, since the main goal was to unite the Russia with Crimea.
