Robotyne liberated.
...
The wedge is being hammered deeper toward the Black Sea shore. Contrary to Trust-Fund Enviro-Lawyer's hope.
In this part of Zaporizhia, the Russians have 3 major lines of defense. In capturing Robotyne - heretofore not a household name in most of the world - Ukraine penetrated the first line of defense. It's a salient, which could be vulnerable to being pinched off, trapping Ukrainian forces in a pocket. What Ukraine is doing, and will continue to do, is expand the width, the flanks, of the salient. Penetrating that first defense line means the Ukrainians can use those lines of trenches for flank assaults on the Russians operating in those trenches, thus expanding the salient into a wedge.
The Ukrainians will be attempting to rinse-and-repeat, attacking the second line, penetrating it, and turning trenches' flanks. At some point, Russian forces may notice that the Black Sea is just a few 10s of miles away (Robotyne is around 70 miles north of the Black Sea) and change their tactics (or boogie). Reality is shaping up very different from what
Trust-Fund Enviro-Lawyer's hopes, but RFK Jr.'s relationship with reality seems tenuous in multiple ways.
