@Wisconsin_Kraut @GoodBoyUV No I think the Russian strategy is to flank, isolate, and destroy Ukrainian units holding strongholds whether they're cities, trench networks, or just a building. Just look at the map of Bakhmut and compare it from January to now. The moment the Russians managed to secure the flanks of roads going into Bakhmut the fall of the city was a foregone conclusion. Racking up casualties and lost material on the road before it can even reach the frontline where soldiers need it the most is devastating and you can see it as the defense collapsed over the course of a few months. It's being employed in Avdiivka as well and as long as the Ukrainains insist on holding onto hopeless positions like the French at Dien Bien Phu instead of being flexible in their strategic approach then it's a snowballs chance in hell this will be any different.
