Deep dives
Stalemate and Tactical Shifts in Ukraine War
The ground war in Ukraine has reached a tactical stalemate, characterized by a constant shift of initiative between Ukrainian and Russian forces. The conflict has expanded into Crimea and Russia, demonstrating evolving operational strategies beyond mere frontline accomplishments. The delay of a significant $60 billion military aid package from the U.S. severely limited Ukraine's capability to execute their counteroffensive effectively, leaving them lacking in essential ammunition and artillery. This imbalance allowed Russia to regain momentum and employ new tactics that contribute to increased casualties on both sides, but more significantly, bolster the Russian war effort.
