Ukrainian farmers call it Rasputitsa, and military experts, ”General Mud', the twice-yearly phenomenon which causes muddy conditions on roads as snow thaws in spring plus wet weather, and the heavy rainfall in autumn.

In war time, mechanized divisions must keep to well paved roads or be exposed to the mud that halts and sucks heavy equipment, not to mention tanks, no matter how powerful they might be.
