INSIGHT

Russia's Meat Grinder And Political Momentum

  • Moscow still pushes offensives like Pokrovsk despite massive losses to claim momentum and political gains.
INSIGHT

Pokrovsk: Symbolic Prize, Limited Strategic Gain

  • Pokrovsk has become a brutal, block-by-block battle that could yield a symbolic win for Putin.
  • Capturing the city would open paths in Donetsk but wouldn't guarantee a large Russian breakthrough.
ADVICE

Preserve Forces With Tactical Withdrawal

  • Consider a tactical withdrawal to preserve manpower and shorten defensive lines before winter.
  • Retreating westward can prevent another costly siege and conserve forces for future defense.
