I’m wondering if someone can make sense of this tweet thread:

Am I right to understand that the Russians tried to cross the Siverskyi Donets nine times, failing a bunch, then for an inexplicable reason ceded ground when they succeeded… even though they could have just waited until the water levels dropped?
If that is true, what is going on? Seems exceedingly callous to sacrifice 80 tanks and 400 men in a live war just to practice. ???
