Putin’s clumsy military campaign in southern Ukraine makes little sense
https://www.cnn.com/2022/03/07/europe/russia-southern-ukraine-military-analysis-intl
Last weekend, when their missiles blew out the windows and roofs of
civilian buildings as a consequence of a strike on Ukrainian armor in
the city center, that may have been by accident.
But this weekend – even at the most generous assessment – it was through
carelessness so extreme it was surely criminal. They seem to just be
lobbing rockets, into the city’s suburbs, CNN seeing three instances
where apparent cluster munitions had landed in residential areas. NATO
on Friday said it had seen the use of cluster bombs by Russia in Ukraine.
And again and again on Mykolaiv’s outskirts, the Russians keep coming.
The attacks seem to falter every time. At one roundabout, we saw a
Russian Tigr armored vehicle on fire on Saturday, Ukrainian troops lying
in defensive prone positions around it.
Some 24 hours later, at the same spot, Ukrainian troops had found time
to graffiti the unexploded rockets that landed around them with
anti-Putin abuse, and the Russians had been pushed further back down the
road.
