I question what good would further infantry formations do when even mechanized formations can't make progress here.
That’s because you are applying the wrong metric to assess these choices.

When you stop applying boring conventional military thinking and instead just think about how things might look on social and mainstream media, a lot of Ukrainian command’s choices start making slightly more sense.
