This. East of Kharkiv and in the south, the frontline is already located at the most geographically opportune place. In the middle, between Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk and Kramatorsk, there are absolutely no natural obstacles and it doesn't make a difference where exactly the frontline lies.
Not to mention, that middle ground holds critical farmland. There's already a strip that went unharvested last season and Russia would be poised to seize huge swathes of agriculture if they broke through.
Fill that triangle in between Zaporizhzhia, Kramatorsk and Kharkiv and is there
anything but flat farmlands?
If that line collapsed and Russia took the middle, what % of the total harvest in Ukraine did they just turn into sesame buns at vkusno i tochka?
