Vladimir Putin is so involved in making strategic decisions in the war in Ukraine that he ends up controlling measures that are normally decided by a colonel or a brigadier general, and this is probably because he wants to obtain the long-awaited results faster in the war in Ukraine.
Vladimir Putin would be so involved because his generals would not be able to find the right strategies to have victories in the war in Ukraine, and the first great success is the total occupation of the city of Mariupol, including the Azovstal plant, from which they would have already left almost all the soldiers who defended it from the Russian army.
"Western military officials now say Putin is involved in battlefield decision-making 'at the level of a colonel or a brigadier' as the Donbas offensive in eastern Ukraine unfolds.
Decision-making at the 'colonel or brigadier level' involves a brigade-level command of two or more battalions, the movement of 1.500 or more troops: precisely the kind of force that tried and failed to see the strategic river."
