the numerous war journos who blasted Ukraine and assured us just days ago Russia would never pull troops off the front for this incursion.

Literally the only alternative they have is the WW2 defense of hoping General Winter is still on their side (hint: he's not).

They have to pull troops from the front, and hope the dregs and the mines can hold on their own.

We can queue up a big panel of Russian military strategists who’ve been for 1.5 years spreading their forces perfectly evenly across the entire front line, explaining that if they knew it was allowed to focus on one breakthrough attack point, they would DEFINITELY have been doing that.
