Good thread by my colleague Chris Dougherty, recommend reading.
I was reviewing #ukraine maps by @TheStudyofWar, @JominiW, et al yesterday to prepare for this radio interview with @TheWorld and I wondered why the war in eastern Ukraine is an attritional slugfest and not a battle of sweeping maneuver? 🧵 1/11
