Deep dives
Ukrainian Surprise Attack
Ukraine launched a surprise cross-border attack into Russian territory, managing to capture around a thousand square kilometers. This operation marked a significant shift, as it involved the regular Ukrainian military instead of smaller volunteer units seen in previous incursions. The operation aimed primarily to distract Russian forces from ongoing offensives in eastern Ukraine, particularly around Donetsk, potentially alleviating pressure on Ukrainian defenses in that region. Despite the initial success and territorial gains, the long-term military objectives remain unclear, especially regarding Ukraine's capability to hold the captured territories.
