The bulk of the lifers were stationed near the Donbas. There was one brigade watching Crimea, but their senior officers were bought and they were out of position and unable to block the tank rush up the highway.

Thanks for the correction. My typo. I thought one thing and typed another.

I could accept that they were out gunned, but there is no excuse for the failure of the defenders to blow the bridges which allowed the Ruskies to take Kherson. Bribes better explain that result.
