But Russian soldiers don't have the proper equipment as was evidenced in the last humiliating defeat during the winter and spring.
Combat casualties failed when compared to the frostbite hypothermia and weather.
And absolutely the rain is going to be a huge problem until it freezes and then that's going to be a bigger problem.
The world is also sending all sorts of equipment to Ukraine so expect cold weather gear of the highest level is going to the stockpile for Ukrainian soldiers while russian soldiers and conscripts freeze to death.
And with the deterioration of combat capability of Russian forces there is no way for them to maintain the land that they have. And I believe a different offensive now has started to take place. Again completely unbalancing and lulling russian forces into being fertilized again.
I don't see you how Russia is going to be able to prevent total collapse of this entire conflict without them having to resort to nuclear weapons.
