Fog, rain, wind, and electronic warfare can create brief windows to move. Ukraine's drone-saturated "zero line" is so dangerous that troops may have to wait days for a safe chance to move just a few hundred meters, a Ukrainian soldier told Business Insider. The soldier, who uses the call sign Yankee, said that he has experienced cases at the zero line, the forward edge of the front line, where "if you want to sometimes move 300 meters, you can't move for seven days."
