Autumn is the rainy season in Ukraine/Russia and it's even called Rasputitsa - Season of Bad Roads because of all the ground turning into mud. Better to attack across hard ice than soft mud.
In summer (edit: spring actually) thawing turns everything into mud. Wars there were always waged in summer and mechanized warfare with modern logistics also make winter more possible.
Late spring is when war season starts, traditionally it was around may iirc, also due to every army there being based on a lot of horses which needed to graze.

Oh for sure but i was more confused about not having waiting for spring/summer

true, although does the mud last for the entirety of the spring? (also you typed summer instead of spring 😅 )
It's also muddy during winter
It's just muddy

hmm alright thanks for the info! I'm not super into military stuff so i more go based off of vibes/whatever random tidbits I've read in the past
The first book of Sienkiewicz's trilogy suddenly makes a lot more sense.
