Russia currently lacks the troops to capture or encircle Ukraine's second-largest city, Kharkiv, according to the latest report from the Institute for the Study of War, a Washington D.C.-based think tank.
This is despite Russian forces launching a two-pronged attack into Kharkiv Oblast on Friday which the ISW said made "significant tactical gains."

The Russians have 35,000 soldiers trying to attack and seize Kharkiv. They don't have enough troops considering the city is about 135 square miles. The Germans had a million soldiers trying to seize Stalingrad in WWII against a smaller population and city.
And the Russians suck at maneuver warfare.
