A military expert mapped out his suggestion for a Ukrainian counteroffensive strike.
Thanks to the capture of Robotyne over the weekend, Tokmak is already within artillery range, Martin wrote.
It would remain for Ukrainian forces to be close enough to the M14 to keep that, too, within artillery range, Martin wrote.
That requires advancing roughly 25 miles further than Ukrainian forces have reached in several locations.
It means slow, grinding progress, which saw Ukrainian forces retake the town of Robotyne, northwest of Melitopol, over the weekend.
