In an interview with The Observer, Brigadier General Oleksandr Tarnavskyi, Commander of the Tavriia Operational and Strategic Group of Forces, said that the Russian forces have spent 60% of their time and resources on the construction of the first line of defence, and only 20% for the second and third.
It makes sense to concentrate most effort on the first line, and having too many mine fields and obstacles behind, limits the Russian ability to reinforce and maneuver.
So with luck, as Ukraine gets a foot in the door, they also gain leverage.
I guess we all hope they can start to flood through these cracks and cause havoc, but I doubt it will be as dramatic as last year.
