The Russian army has chosen the right strategy, imposing battles on the Ukrainian armed forces on one and another section of the front, forcing them to constantly transfer depleted reserves, Al Mayadeen reported.
“So far, we can state that the Russian army has enough forces to break through the Ukrainian defence in different directions and not give up the initiative on the battlefield. And even without any ‘general offensive’, this tactic of ‘a thousand small cuts’ is very dangerous for the AFU, as it exsanguinates the forces of the Ukrainian army, which in time can lead to the collapse of entire sections of the front,” the Al Mayadeen piece says.
It is noted that the Russian forces “play with the AFU, imposing the battle in one place and another, forcing the Ukrainians to constantly redeploy their depleted reserves”. According to the publication, without successful mobilisation, Kiev is waiting for the collapse of the front.
“Russian troops have already entered Kharkiv and Sumy regions in 2022. They left without a fight, considering the potential losses and physical damage too high. Now they are approaching these areas again”, – summarised in the article.
We shall remind you that Foreign Affairs magazine earlier wrote that the Ukrainian army was not capable of dislodging the Russian Armed Forces from their positions even if it received new assistance from the EU and the USA and military training in Western countries.
