Trenches are a red herring.

The Ukrainians can be and were very effective via partisan warfare.

Attacking trenches and fortifications is a horrible error.

Ultimately, the Ukrainians need to just ignore the Americans - and the English and the French, and stick to partisan attacks. American, French, and English money is corrupting the government of Ukraine and funding the worst of the worst to rise to the top of that government.

The most effective soldier is always a civilian - ideally a civilian that is 200 yards from their home, carrying out attacks with black powder saw offs, knives and blunt weapons at 3 45 AM, under cover of trees, farm land, prairies, cedar, tamarisk, and brush.

Rifles are useless - a knife is the most useful weapon when encountering an FSB or commissar in their requisitioned offices and residences. [ or in a parking lot, store, factory, roadway, sidewalk, or gas station ] . And that is exactly what strikes fear in the hearts of the American and English government.

It is very interesting to see the bots and trolls on Reddit squealing, at the behest of the Admins, owners, bankers, and special Mods, about the use of up close and direct violence towards the FSB and their paid actors. Says a lot too much more than you want to know about Reddit - and Meta and Facebook, Tiktok, Intagram, X, Twitter, Microsoft, LinkedIn, and Snapchat.

Partisan attacks alone won't work because Russia like Nazi Germany will brutally suppress partisan resistance. It has to be combined with regular military attacks.

An interesting point, that the U.S. went into Normandy where the Nazis were most fortified, versus Monaco, Genoa, Marseilles, and Nice.

And did not fortify Sicily, and then land troops in Calabria, the Veneto, and the Romagna, but went into Lazio prematurely.

Incorrect. The Germans expected the attack would be at Pas de Calais, a port. They didn't realize that the Allies plan was to build two artificial harbors at Normandy.
