    there’s this village that they have been fighting over a the initial stages of their attempt to take the azov sea region. Their original plan relied on them taking this village months ago because they needed to take it in order to safely reach the begining of the Russian defences. So now they have it but it required three divisions and months longer than they planned for

    so technically it’s a success but the fact it’s happening now and the way it happened is indicative of their offensive being dead in the water

      The point is more the background - have they taken the village, or have they taken the rubble of what used to be the village.

        I saw a picture of the village a few days ago. The impression I got was that it has been pretty heavily shelled but also it looked like it was not a nice place to live even before there was a war. A little column A a little column B
