And yet the Ukraine forces are successful! I heard they developed new technology called bridges and boats.
You assume Russians did not have this technology? Getting few miles with foot solders with artillery support from the right bank is one thing. To fully develop this into meaningful strategic advance with heavy military equipment is another thing. It is difficult and risky. With all my heart I wish them good luck especially because I think it is very hard to advance in that direction.
I'd be shocked if Ukraine isn't receiving Western support with sapper/combat engineer training, as well as equipment like floating bridges. Remember, the Allies built two entire temporary deepwater ports immediately following D-Day to facilitate rapid transportation of heavy equipment into Normandy.
