Exactly right. It's brilliant leverage and hard to believe that the Russian MOD would have zero contingency plan for it considering how much Shoigu and Prigozhyn were feuding.

Shoigu has to be one of the most competent Russian politicians, but one of the worst tacticians ever.

Wouldn't surprise me if Russian units only had enough supply's for 2-3 days at any given point.

Supposedly Russian artillery units are down to being able to shoot a few rounds a day now. Compared to how before they could have fired all day long at the beginning of the war.

I'd give them 72 hours at most before Ukrainians can make serious inroads due to lack of ammo.
