I'd be interested to know what the level of fuel was in the abandoned vehicles, my best guess is like all of us on a road trip when the gas gets down to almost empty you start looking for a place to bail, it may not have been desertion as the natural desire not to be stuck sitting in a immobile rocket magnet left behind by your mates, it may be they siphoned their gas into fewer vehicles to extend the range
If that's the case its a stunning indictment on how bad Russian logistics are, it's not like they are deep into Ukraine, they are at most just a few hundred km's across the border
