The end of winter and rising temperatures give the Ukrainian military an advantage in defending against Russian invaders. Due to the warm weather, the ground is softening, so that Vladimir Putin’s soldiers can only use the terrain to a limited extent for advance and tanks and heavy vehicles threaten to sink in the mud.
These conditions would “usually give the defending forces a military advantage”, particularly towards the end of March when the mud period reaches its peak, the British Defense Ministry’s daily analysis said on Thursday.
Ukrainian advantages on “uneasy terrain in Bakhmut sector”
Accordingly, one expects disadvantages for the Russian army, especially “on the troubled terrain in the Bakhmut sector”. There has been a hard fight for Bachmut for weeks. Russian troops are trying to break through there with all their might. Thousands of Ukrainian defenders are now almost surrounded, but still able to hold their positions.
According to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the Ukrainian armed forces have the situation in all sectors of the front under control. However, the people behind the fronts would continue to suffer from the Russian attacks.
Dead in Russian missile attack in Zaporizhia
Ukrainian authorities even reported renewed Russian missile attacks on the southern city of Zaporizhia on Thursday. At least three people were killed and four injured. A rocket hit a five-story apartment building and 11 people, including a pregnant woman, were rescued alive from the rubble. However, more victims are feared.
In mid-January, a Russian missile hit a residential building in the metropolis of Dnipro. More than 40 people were killed. “Deliberate terror” Zelensky called these attacks on towns and villages in the hinterland. Although the people there are not at the front, they are still directly involved in the war.
