If you don't understand Russian History and how Russians see things, then you won't understand why the Ukraine Operation is going the way it is going.
***In 1812 Napoleon invaded Russia with the largest army Europe had ever seen.

Napoleon now found himself 500 miles from friendly territory, outnumbered, poorly supplied, and with winter approaching. What followed was one of the most harrowing and disastrous events in military history - the Retreat from Moscow - in which Russian attacks, freezing weather and starvation virtually wiped out the once-proud Grande Armée.
