Russian forces in Ukraine can't be outflanked, a US veteran training Ukrainian troops said.
He told Insider that Ukraine has no choice but to take the risky move of going "straight up the middle."
"You are going to have to go straight up the middle and you're just going to have to pick where the middle is."
In fact, he said the only advantage that anyone fighting Russian forces has is that "they don't know the exact second that you're coming."
Get it wrong and "all you end up doing is pocketing your own forces for Russia to completely, completely destroy," he said.
