Stuck in the mud is 100% coming from some Russian that Trump speaks to because that's spin to make their initial attempt look less disastrous, they didn't get stuck in the mud, they got stuck on the road, they had massive vehicle columns which got blown up by Ukraine's air defence, resulting in a huge advancement slowdown and even more Russians being blown up.
