Yup!You mean this one?
Real Keystone Cops stuff.
The best training in the world cannot make up for motivation while motivation (and discipline) can make up for lacks in training. Dictators forget that at their peril...I think the utter collapse of the US-trained Afghan Army as soon as the Taliban said boo was a shock to the Chinese and seen as an incentive to Putin. The Ukrainian example is the polar opposite.
Are Ukraine's forces that organized to run traditional field movements? I was thinking they were more ambush and partisan than an organized army with a formal command structure from Field Marshall to Generals to Colonels to Captain and so on. Is there an Ukranian Montgomery, Patton or Manstein pulling the strings?
They have been receiving western military training, especially US, since 2014. One thing that receives huge emphasis is mobility in combat. Whether you're a squad doing an anvil and hammer by flanking your enemy or using vehicles or battalion sized elements, staying in motion is key. While they have been fighting a defensive withdrawal (a very difficult operation in itself) successfully they're now in the position to move to the offensive and take up movements to the Russian flanks and rear. This is simply competent leadership from NCO's and up.Are Ukraine's forces that organized to run traditional field movements?

Promote the Russian officer in charge to Field Marshal. "Not one inch!"Oh PLEASE let this happen!!! Cut them off and grind them down. That would absolutely be poetic!
That also deserves a bacon!Promote the Russian officer in charge to Field Marshal. "Not one inch!"
This is looking too similar to the winter war but with more western help.
Hope that the ukrainians don't get the victory disease and overstrecht themselves too much.Russian forces apparently retreating…
