One unexpected side effect is that as Russian troops panic and attempt to retreat in the face of the counteroffensive they are setting off their own poorly marked minefields. JL
Alya Shandra reports in Euromaidan Press:
The Ukrainians tricked Russian forces by appearing to reinforce small attacks, allowing them to close in almost undetected. As Ukrainians simultaneously jammed radio signals, the Russians were unable to request support and were consequently defeated. Ukrainians subsequently launched assaults towards Urozhaine and Novomaiorske. The goal was not immediate capture of the next settlements, but rather to expand the bridgehead and establish positions in the fields. These coordinated actions enabled Ukrainians to cross the river, dispersing their forces, and establishing a broad bridgehead. (And) Russian forces are falling victim to their own mines due to the fields and roads being excessively mined.
