    Pretty funny. There was a winter last year too lol and Ukraine didn’t make any advances there (although that winter was warmer than usual). Then there was the spring offensive where Ukraine also made no advances and the arguments were that they were waiting for snow to thaw etc etc. Now apparently this winter is going to be it and everything they wanted to end for the spring offensive are going to help them.

      they were waiting for snow to thaw

      Weird, I distinctly remember media saying that the thawing (“rasputitsa”) was what was preventing the offensive. Or was it earlier? “Russians are waiting for the mud to freeze”?
