Are these Russian or Ukrainian troops shown in these trenches with mud filled boots? I can't see the AFU deploying their troops thusly unless desperate. I like to think that the Russians are ill-equipped and freezing in their trenches whilst the Ukrainians are well-equipped and drier/warmer (get them waterproof boots!) in their forward positions.
Russians may be preparing to retreat from southern Ukraine
The occupiers are already setting up firing positions 15-20km inland.Nataliya Humenyuk, head of the press centre of the Guard and Defence Forces of Operational Command South, said this on the Espresso TV channel. She said … The Russians already understand the failure of their military strategy.en.socportal.info
Hard to believe. But initially it was also hard to believe that Russians where preparing to retreat from Kherson
I remember hearing a radio satire of "Hamlet" on the radio (AFN?) decades ago. In the real story, Hamlet's Father is killed by pouring poison (Henbane) in his ear. In the satire, the ghost of the father is asked how he died. He replies "They poured something in my ear." He is asked "What was it?" The reply "Bullets!"It might have been something he ate, or maybe looking at the Sunset out of his bedroom window
He is burning up his cruise missiles and Iskanders for what? Decentralizing the Ukrainian infrastructure? 1300 cruise missiles fired and they have barely killed 1000 Ukrainians. And the lights are back on in a few hours to days.Russian missile accuracy is so bad they can't reliably hit a vehicle, can't hit a building, can't hit a city, and now can't even hit a country. Putin has done more damage to Russia's image as a world- class military power than anyone.
I'm not too sure if this has been posted here already but a friend recently sent me this while discussing Russia in the Ukraine War and the current status of their arms. It's a very interesting interview you guys might find interesting. Russian POW talks about experiences

Nothing wrong with waterproof rubber boots in winter, provided you're wearing thick fleece and woollen kit underneath. Though marching in such a ridged tall boot may cause some discomfort. Here's my winter boot, essentially a farmer's Welly, but rated to -40'F/C. And my preferred sock.Those boots (@8:10 in the vid) are a recipe for frostbite, as noted in the comments.
