@alg7115 What lines? The lines you see on the map aren't some walls or defended positions. They are just drawn liness on a map and you can of course cross them easily, if not a river. The problem is, that in that region you are in a quickly rising amount of crosshairs. You don't lose a war over territory. You lose a war over having no military left. The losses of Ukraine over somehing little as this are simply insane. A desastrous loss.

Please, stop talking about nukes. Even the smallest tactical nukes are still the size of Hiroshima. People should stop to talk about something like that. Russia got 100s of other means before that to bring down Ukraine. They could simply cut down own electricity and/or communication in Ukraine for example and many other things.

With the range of modern weapon systems you don't even need to do that the same way, since you can obliterate enemies many, many km away from you. It's enough to make them good targets for that.

@JohnSmith-jp8se Ground is of no matter in warfare. It can be helpful - or weight you down. Winning or losing a war is all about how you handle your troops. You lose the war when you got no military left, not when you got no ground left.

@alg7115 There IS no defensive line, kid. That's the point. Ukraine had digged such lines, and you got some in Donbass, but in these Kherson regions for example, no one created anythin like that. What you see on the map as some colors is just a vague idea of who got more control over that area. The border is NO fortificated by any means, there is not "break through". You can even see videos, how that control area looks like, even in areas where you got some fortifications. It's some groups of mostly East Ukrainian fighters and volunteers who move around in that whole area. When Ukrains army got in by force, they withdraw, what is simply smart, since overall: there is close to nothing to begin with. You guys got an odd understanding how that scenario looks like, starting at the size of Ukraine. The area Russia and east Ukrainians conquered is the size of a small nation on itself. The idea alone, that you can just create some magical border in such a time frame and defend every single part of it against military aggression is simply absurd. And no, just because you can't defend it completely, doesn't mean, that it is easy to overrun the whole region. You can run in, but just because you 'hold' that area on the map, doesn't give you superiority there. This is not a game, where you conquer a map and its done, you never need to go back and start the next level with a fresh army. You got ONE army and every loss is forever. And when you conquer something, you can't just move on, you now need to defend it, what will likely be way harder than where you came from, because you won't have fortified positions there. This will take away from your overall offensive force on top of your losses you got going there in the first place. And in the end you lose a war, when you got no military left. Controlled area isn't really a point.

It's overall just smart to fight like this - even more when you can pull devastating punches far beyond the frontlines with your missiles and alike. Storming in is always more risky and Ukraine isn't some guys with rifles, they ARE a NATO army and armed to the teeth, they got way more soldiers and all together had at least the same amount of equipment on the field if not more.
