11/ I never said that this was "all roads". I said that if the Russians control THOSE roads, they control the areas around them.https://twitter.com/KDelchev1/status/1500249311308832769 …

Replying to @MorlockP
Not necessary. The example is the same - attacks on the stalled column, ambushes on VDV forces around Holostomel etc.
