The fighting is taking place in eastern Ukraine, primarily along the Dnipro and the Donbas borders. There’s no sense in retreating because the Ukrainian objective at this point is to win outright, meaning they need to push Russian forces back to the pre-referendum border in the east. Ukrainian commanders are of course aware their supply lines are far longer than Russian lines, but they don’t have a choice in the matter. Any supply or repair depots within Ukrainian territory have been destroyed by Russian strikes. The only safe place for these support services is in Poland.
So we are supposed to simply draw them out? Doesnt seem like they’ll willingly advance. Im sure they’re aware of their supply line being lengthened.
