Giving up ground has a
strategic purpose. Ukraine has too few troops and cannot afford to fight to the death in every position, trench or bunker. So what they are doing is very controlled, trading terrain for time. They want to use that time to keep the war going for as long as possible. Ukraine does not hold position for the sake of holding positions it trades them for meat, in the last months more than +8000 Russians and a lot of equipment were lost in Kursk alone. Like they have in the Donbas postponed their timetable to conquer these regions meaning they lose again those staggering numbers of men and equipment. And do not come they have enough, they have not, that is why they import the majority of ammunition from North Korea with meat to feed the grinder. The ratio of shells has dropped from 10:1 to 3:1 on the fronts.
