I thought that the Russian army would meet to surround Kiev, but I did not expect that after the conflict lasted for two months, the Russian army began to announce a retreat, from Kiev to Sumy and other places, the Russian army began to retreat. Although the Russian side may be concentrating its forces to fight in the Donbass, in the eyes of many people, the Russian army may be a "big rout", because of logistical deficiencies and light enemies, the Russian army can not continue to surround Kiev, so it will choose to retreat. Whether the Russian army's move is a tactic or a real rout will take time to see, but at present, it is certain that the Russian staff officer did "go wrong".
Whatever the purpose of this retreat, speed is the primary task, but the retreat of the Russian army is very delayed, and a large number of soldiers are stranded at the Ivankiv ferry port, and the reason why they cannot retreat as soon as possible is that the Russian army has not built more bridges in advance. It is reported that the Russian army stayed here for 4 weeks, but only built a bridge, in order to retreat as soon as possible, the Russian soldiers were forced to "throw away their armor" and swim across the river with weapons to break through. The river was littered with Russian uniforms, body armor, and other unnecessary equipment, and soldiers crossed the river with only guns.
Most of the body armor and equipment that were taken off will not be recycled, and eventually they will either be captured by the Ukrainian army or taken away by Ukrainian farmers, which is not the first time this has happened. During the conflict, the Russian army abandoned a lot of equipment, from tanks, armored vehicles, command vehicles, radars to electronic warfare systems, all of which were thrown on the side of the road intact, and finally cheapened the Ukrainian army. If you want to ask why the Russian army did this, logistics and organization staff is obviously the key reason, take a large number of Russian soldiers jumped into the river and retreated, the Russian army stayed here for 4 weeks, but did not expect to build a few more pontoon bridges to facilitate the retreat.
This omission will not only slow down the withdrawal of the Russian army, but also force a large amount of equipment to be abandoned, which will outweigh the losses, unlike the mistakes made by the "fighting nation". However, it is also possible that the Russian army never considered the problem of retreat, which led to the situation that the soldiers had to swim and retreat. And this can only show that the Russian army is too light on the enemy, even if it still has advantages, but these advantages are gradually being equalized by the Ukrainian army, which has a counter-offensive head, successively damaging the Russian army and shooting down a Su-35. Therefore, there is obviously a problem with the Russian staff and tactics, and they should be adjusted in time.
If the "five fingers apart" operation continues as before, rather than the harvest "fist" attack, then the Russian army will withdraw not only from Kiev, but also from Donbass, until it is completely withdrawn from Ukraine. Therefore, there is only one pontoon bridge in the rear road, and the Russian soldiers can only jump into the river and retreat, which seems to be a trivial matter, but it reflects the tactical deficiencies and light enemies of the Russian army, so that Ukraine is even more unlikely to give in in the negotiations, and it is also a problem to promote the negotiations.
