Not sure if this is wishful thinking, as I am not sure how much momentum UKR can maintain at the moment.
Interesting picture illustrating the challenge of "how do you get across the various waterways if the bridges are blown?"
Here's a situation where having a lot of drones and UAVs up in the air could make the sensor-to-shooter link pretty tight, if UKR wants to cause some damage as various waterways get crossed.
Unless it’s a big bluff, it seems barking mad to announce your withdrawal before you actually do it. A lot of bridges were just blown by Russia.
