With regard to Russian defensive lines, it's probably worth pointing out that some analysts have highlighted how Russia's mine laying approach is a double-edged sword. Because they dump mines indiscriminately and don't keep accurate maps, it makes it extremely difficult to advance, but also extremely difficult to maneuver in defense.

Basically, in an active desperation prior to the start of the Ukrainian offense Russia basically made it impossible for them to move forward from their defensive positions... But also in between any layer of defense that has mines in the middle. The trade-off is a much slower offensive than people were expecting out of Ukraine as they're forced to probe every inch of land they want to take because mines could be anywhere.

Yeah it sounds like the mines are slowing Ukraine to a crawl and not much else is slowing them down other than walls of bodies.

Has Russia had success anywhere since Wagner took Bakhmut? All we hear about lately is them losing battles bit by bit.
