I think many cultural advancements were made by teens and young adults, just messing around. those that lived, passed it on to their peers and kids.
no doubt the whole time their parents were yelling at them to knock it off ...

the Kherson offensive made this possible, by encouraging 🇷🇺 to divert forces from what they thought was a stable front to the South.
Blocking bridges prevents 🇷🇺 from quickly moving forces back to the East or North if they wanted to.

I disagree: if the West directly intervenes militarily, they then make Putin's false justification, that the West is attacking Russia, become true.

Ukr is winning the war by chewing up R's military power - men, materiel, morale - and not as much by needlessly losing their own to push R out, until the RA is spent.
