Reason, not saying all other forces in at once. but just sending small units into combat, and carry out the small forays into cities. and small unit tactics in which russian forces had the overwhelming majority in terms of numbers and technological spirit. we are taking advantage of it they were sending -- little call -- into weird faces fight against ukraine and in some cases ukrainians destroy them. and they were forced to come back. so, they try to do this technique which hasnt really worked ...

Initiative on the battle field, thats a sure thing. they have the initiative in some places, more successful in others, but they have the initiative, the ukrainians are just pushing back. >> as we were discussing with fred pleitgen, one of the other challenges would be if this offensive has not gone as fast as or as far as the russians might have planned, theyre going to run into supply issues and rotating troops out. it complicates the initial plan, one would imagine. >> theres a well-known say...
