Today's special analysis by Frontelligence Insight explains the reasons behind Russian advances across multiple sectors of the frontline and explores the implications of these developments. Focusing on Chasiv Yar, Kurakhove, and Ocheretyne, this report aims to provide a thorough understanding of the current situation.
Ukraine has put a lot of effort into offensives in Krynky and Klischivka. Meanwhile, they seem to have failed to anticipate that Russia would pursue forces retreating from Avdiivka. They have been somewhat late in constructing a solid defensive line in anticipation of the fall of Avdiivka.
General Syrsky claimed that they had found 50,000 troops who could be rotated into the line to relieve units that have suffered significant losses. Even if these are not fully-trained or are over-age or otherwise are not 100%, they can presumably help with defense. Was this wishful thinking, or are those troops in fact being brought into the line?
The weather is another factor that I don't understand. Bezdorhizhzhia should be making Russian movement difficult.
I wish the Ukrainian press were freer to report on what's actually happening. I know they need to protect operational security, but the failure to pass conscription suggests to me that *Ukrainians* do not fully understand the dire choices they are facing. No amount of outside aid will save them if there are no troops to use it.
Following Ukrainian strategy is difficult for me.
