Mud season is a well known thing in Ukraine. Anyone who has worked in NE BC or Northern Alberta during the spring thaw would have an idea of what the conditions can be like on ungroomed roads, especially after you get a few trucks on the access roads.
It's one reason why it seemed like a huge miscalculation to not block major roads and bridges in the weeks leading up to the invasion to force Russia off road. Then again, making them line-up on roads to stage their attack has some strategical advantage as well, so who am I to say.
