It's hard going. Ukraine is not planning for a three day operation. For non-junkies wondering why ukraine would elect to attack the most heavily defended front, it's super simple. Success on that axis represents complete strategic victory. They can chip away here, and cut a bit there - but a push to the azov effectively ends russian occupation - or, if we prefer...leaves no practical justification for or ability to occupy ukraine anywhere else.
