WNU Editor: Rainy weather continues to impede Ukraine's offensive operations.
My favorite source on the war from the Ukrainian side is repeating what others are saying .... the Ukrainian goal is to launch small scale attacks along the front until they reach the first Russian fortifications. It is then when the bulk of the military will then be thrown in.
On the Russian side, this commentator is probably right ....
.... It seems pretty clear that the Russians have a flexible defense strategy in front of the first fortified line. They hold the outposts when the Ukrainian attack is not so strong, they retreat to the next village when the attack is stronger and counterattack whenever there is a good chance. Most importantly the Russian artillery gives the Ukrainians a hard time when they move into this forward area.

For the uninitiated with no military background. The Russians are probably using the old shield and sword defense.
This was a mainstay of the old soviet war fighting tactics. It works well when no one is harassing you air space and you have freedom of maneuver behind your own lines. Hard to beat this when it is done right. And behind an in-depth defensive wall? Your attacker is going to have a hard time breaking thru.
Ukraine is counter-attacking in multiple directions, with mixed results
Rain , and Rudsia blowing dam after dam
