I pinned him in place,» Ritter said, suggesting that Russian troops were thus pinning down a large force of Ukrainian troops in Kyiv, with no intention of occupying it. He also believes that due to similar tactics, a significant part of Ukrainian troops is forced to be in Odessa. Ritter also noted that attacks on fuel and ammunition depots make Ukrainian equipment useless. «And what is a tank without diesel fuel — a coffin. And a truck without gasoline? Another coffin. All the ammunition depots have been blown up. What is an artillery gun without ammunition? The possibility of death,» Ritter said, adding that the fuel crisis also deprives Ukrainian forces of the ability to maneuver and transport reinforcements.
