If they wanted to anchor the line of defence behind a river, they could have tried to hold on to Kupiansk.
How did the map with the overall layout for the wall got leaked anyway? Maybe it is just a fake, since they barely began to build the line one cannot be sure of the whole track.
Definitely, this goes contrary to notions of a vaunted Russian massive Winter Offensive. That, and the fact American army troops are starting to amass in Romania.
Don't forget that with the exception of Kherson, there was nowhere where the russian army was building fortifications and long minefields. They had lots of time and they did nothing. They left open terrain everywhere. They also did nothing on the russian borders.
This is incompetence. I guess they thought Russia would be always on the offensive, and Ukraine wouldn't dare to attack the border regions.
The lack of border territorial battalions is incompetence too. They will certainly help to redeploy russian units from the border to Ukraine.
On the contrary, Ukraine did a great job fortifying defences everywhere. This was the right thing to do.
Wagner is right to highlight the incompetence of the russian military with that PR wall stuff. Even though they do it due to their competition with the military.
But the lack of defensive lines, fortifications and minefields lays straight on Defence Ministry and the General Staff, and not on Putin. Even though Putin is responsible for other mishaps.
Interesting... a single ditch as a defensive line. That must be a joke in practical terms.
Are we all part of a movie?
