Military analysts have noted that Russian invading forces are facing challenges in transporting ammunition, fuel, and equipment to the front lines. The onset of frost, rain, mud, and continued shelling of supply routes is expected to further hinder the resupply efforts of the Russian troops.
Maj. Volodymyr Fito, head of the press department for Ukraine's ground forces, has echoed these assessments. He indicated that heavy rains would likely reduce the use of aviation and drones, as well as impede the movement of ground vehicles.
This weather-induced slowdown, Fito says, presents an opportunity for the Ukrainian army to significantly disrupt and potentially "wipe out the enemy."
Russian supply lines have been under strain for several months. Recent drone and sabotage activities on the Crimean Bridge have notably reduced the number of military transports reaching Crimea via this route.
Additionally, the destruction of roads and bridges linking Crimea with the Kherson region has complicated efforts to supply Russian troops engaged in that area.
