The Ukrainians are also by-passing the towns and just encircling them and creating isolated pockets of Russian troops. It’s true 21st century rapid maneuver warfare!
Luckily for Ukraine they have all of those militia infantry brigades, they are ideal for containing pockets. I hope lots of those guys are moving up.
And frightfully efficient against the Russian troops. Imagine being a poorly trained conscript with a rifle when your position takes continuous .50 caliber machine gun fire and two anti-tank rockets in less than 10 minutes. And that is immediately followed by close quarters combat with many experienced enemy fighters.
