In recent months, Ukrainian troops have been able to stop the Russian offensive in the east of Donetsk region and begin to conquer small territories from the enemy.
On Monday, March 10, the New York Times writes with reference to Ukrainian servicemen and military analysts.
Russian aggressor troops still keep the initiative on the front and conduct dozens of attacks daily, but after more than 15 months the offensive brigades are exhausted, according to the publication. Moscow is trying hard to replace destroyed equipment.
According to Michael Kafman, a military analyst and a senior researcher of Russia and Eurasia of the Carnegie Foundation for International Peace, the offensive actions of Russians in Donetsk region “They came to a dead end because of bad weather, exhaustion of Russian troops and effective adaptation of Ukraine to the methods of fighting for troops of the Russian Federation. “
He also stressed that it is not necessary to speak about stabilization in this area of the front, but the situation is improving because the Ukrainian forces find innovative ways to compensate for the lack of soldiers.
“Although last year Russia has achieved considerable success in the southern part of the Donbass, it is still far from the capture of the rest of the cities and towns that make up the backbone of Ukrainian defense,” NYT writes.
At the same time, the Ukrainian military reported that the occupiers are being rebuilt and activated offensive actions, using US decisions to suspend military assistance and transfer intelligence data to Ukraine.
Russian tanks and armored vehicles – what is known
On December 5, 2024, The Washingon Post published a material that predicted that the Russian army in 2025 would face a shortage of tank due to huge losses at the front and production problems.
On December 23, The Wall Street Journal reported that Russian troops lost more than 11,000 units of armored vehicles in the war against Ukraine – including about 3,600 tanks. According to the publication, this amount corresponds to almost 15-year production of tanks in the Russian Federation at pre-war pace.
January 16, 2025 Analysts of the Institute of War Study (Isw) reported that in some areas of the front, Ukrainian troops are likely to prevent Russians from deploying tanks and other armored vehicles due to the effective use of drones and artillery.
In February, analysts of the Institute of War Study reported that in the near future the Russian Federation will probably face material and economic restrictions, as well as a lack of human resources, which will put pressure on the Kremlin’s ability to support the war in the medium and long term.
