What?
Well finally a smart move.
Russia acknowledges that it cannot take the steel plant and Putin is actually ordering his soldiers not to storm the steel plant and at the very same time they are also shifting over forces and trying to lock off the steel plant and prevent it from access to the outside world to starve the people out.
Every time a humanitarian corridor is told to open Russian forces cannot abide by the terms of the ceasefire and with multiple instances of Russian forces opening fire on civilians we definitely are seeing even more brutality.

Hopefully I have cited my source correctly here but this is a pretty good graphic representation of what is going on underneath the steel plant.
By the way this is also designed to house a good portion of the city underground in protection against nuclear war.
That steel plant is also highly toxic and has destroyed the local environment.
A sprawling complex with not only bomb shelters but tunnel systems as well as an entire Warren of connection points throughout the city.
Literally you can disappear down these tunnels and especially because you're the defender and have the advantage of exploration and hopefully as well stealing the schematics.. this basically means that resupply is imminent and no matter how hard these inept as well as unmotivated soldiers can keep watch they are going to fail.
Basically we are just going to continue seeing resistance as the city truly cannot fall if the citizens continue to fight.
Mind you roughly it sounds like there is 1,000 fighters left in these tunnels and 100,000 people left in the city meaning that there is less than 1% of a fighting force that is actively fighting back..
Basically now it's going to turn into a bug hunt. And we are going to absolutely see the forces that pull out of this area suddenly experience even more combat so I really feel sorry for these Russian soldiers after surviving this conflict and then getting thrown back into a meat grinder.
However absolutely there is no way that these individuals can go down all these different shops and with all the damage that's been caused it just provides even further hiding places as well as obstacles.
In fact I highly suspect that Russian forces don't realize that these tunnel systems have provided a chance at resupply and infiltration units.
With all these fighters hold up and now the advantage being handed back over to them unless Russia believes that it really can have time on its side. Because personally I really don't think that is possible for the Russian forces.
I absolutely don't believe that they have the time and this especially underlines the fact that they have to abandon the besieging of the city and dedicate everything that they've got into possibly pushing the front line close to the administrative border of both contested areas.
However we've also got this race of massive amounts of military hardware that is currently arriving from around the world and being shipped to the front lines by decentralized means to prevent massive convoy targeting just like the Russians fell prey too.
It's entire shift in strategy and declaration of taking a city that has not been taken in the very least is laughable.
All hell Putin the merciful Mr shoots off nuclear missiles and threats to start nuclear war because he screwed up with all this invasion.
Freedom is powerful drug and the hope of not falling under another Communist dictatorship as an entire country choosing to fight and to sacrifice their lives.
And this is just for a chance at freedom just because of the connection to the West and the international connections have given so many individuals hope.
I am sure that there is plenty of corruption and visit the best place in the world however you can always have hope that you can institute change.
Anyway I hope you like my writing today and my analysis.
