Well, they were dug with stolen equipment...not by hand. (Easy stuff to do requiring minimal effort)
It's actually easy to make trenches....it's a LOT harder to fill them.
There's a lot of evidence to suggest that Russia is running short of equipment and qualified manpower.
Commanders are in short supply...so are supplies. Where everyone watches ammunition carefully an army doesn't operate just on bullets alone. In the video you posted earlier the soldier was wearing foot wraps instead of socks....not that Russians don't wear socks...they do. But they are out of socks and now have to rely upon foot wraps. Same problem with NV goggles and scopes. Same with winter clothing and boots. Stealing supplies and selling them on the black market is a foregone conclusion for soldiers. Has been for a long time.
Good leaders are difficult to find in the military to begin with. It's an inherent skill that most don't have. That's why there have been mutiny and lots of soldiers are posted in the rear to shoot deserters.
Ukraine has the upper hand in the coming offensive with better training, high morale and trust in the command structure. Also modern weaponry and supplies donated by the WHOLE WORLD.
You can side with the perpetrator in this conflict or you can side with those who say it is wrong to steal and lie.

I have had to dig actual trenches. And it was anything but easy.
The problem for the AFU is that they can muster maybe 200K troops. Russia has mustered 700K, most of whom are being held as reserves.
With an attrition rate of 7:1 to 5:1 in favor of the Russians, this conflict cannot go but one way.
Who you gonna blame? Blame the evil one and his minions, to whom the various world leaders dutifully beckon.

I'm not looking for a winning side.
I'm looking solely at the morality of the two sides fighting. There's a difference between stealing a penny gumball and having gunmen come in and steal the register contents in a grocery store....where they both technically are stealing one is a much more serious crime than the other.
And where the spring offensive of Ukrainians might not put an end to the conflict...I do see the landscape changing to where the Ukranians will hold more of their homeland than the Russians do.
And that's what the Ukranians are fighting for...their homes and families. You can claim that the mother bear can't take care of her three cubs and you want one...but you still have to fight her for it. And in this case Russia is fighting alone with the WHOLE WORLD backing the mom.

What?
How many gumball thefts does it take to get the label of thief?
I have looked at the evidence....seen the accusations....investigated the allegations....listened to the people there. I've personally met people in that area and know them personally.
And I know beyond a doubt that Ukraine is innocent and the right side to back, the full story is not out yet because of the blizzard of propaganda. (The claim of Nazis is no worse than the Nazis in Canada. Just a few dumb people doing dumb things and one half step away from being complete thugs....if it weren't for their war they likely would be in jail...so that one troop is kept on the front lines and given minimal support by Ukraine)

I seriously doubt that the US planned, organized, and that American soldiers performed the destruction of the pipeline.....
However....that does not mean that a US submarine or other military boat was not in the area and that this vessel didn't sit and watch the thing happen by a friendly nation or group hired to do the deed possibly providing a ride after the fact.
They certainly didn't interfere with anyone doing it.
USA intelligence and special forces groups are an odd mix of incredibly brilliant and incredibly dumb things all at the same time. And an American military vessel in the neighborhood while this was happening is not out of character whatsoever...they regularly patrol that patch of ocean and many more because the Russians and Chinese and others are often there and we keep tabs on everything going on in the ocean.

Right. The US in conjunction with allies blew up the pipelines. All done with informed consent by the offending parties. Roger that.
"They are majority owned (51 per cent) by Russia, along with German, Dutch and French stakeholders."
Now the question is: why? A rhetorical question, the answer being obvious.
