Logistical problems have stopped more than one invading army. Vladimir Putin latest: Russian troops cut off as Belarusians sabotage railway supply lines.
Oleksandr Kamyshin, head of Ukrzaliznytsia (Ukrainian Railways) said that after several acts of sabotage on the Belarus side of the border, that "there is no railway connection between Ukraine and Belarus."
Ukrainians have also been destroying rail infrastructure on their side of the border. (Hat tip to The Other McCain.)
As for the roll of logistics...
In 1858 Thomas Carlyle published a volume about Frederick the Great containing the following .... . . as our little Friend at Berlin came to know, that “an Army, like a serpent, goes upon its belly.”
Frederick the Great was King in Prussia from 1740 until 1772, and King of Prussia from 1772 until his death. (The title changed, but not the position.) Prussia became a military power under his rule.
