It actually shows that both sides have one and the same weakness - lack of any meaningful control over the frontline. Both sides are concentrating forces in the advamce directions, while the other parts of the front remain open to be taken by enemy with no effort.
It’s especially bad on our Russian side due to the enemy having considerable advantage in sheer numbers and at this point is is a very strong asset which allowed them to go that far in their counter offensive. The question is, how long will this momentum last…
