One thing I don't get is all this talk about Spring offensives whether by Russia or Ukraine. I'd have thought that if there's one thing we've established is that Spring and Autumn are not the times to make offensives in Russia or Ukraine. I feel I was a bit slow to grasp just how dumb the start date for the special operation was. I guess I just assumed that Mr Putin would have a better grasp on the regional weather than me.
The weather in Ukraine is just that bit warmer on average than say around Moscow. This means that freezing ground conditions are less reliable in Ukraine, but if you want to make offensives outside of Summer then you have to go when the ground is frozen.
