Episode notes
Russian Multi-Front Pressure Tactic
- The Russian military applies pressure simultaneously across multiple front lines creating gaps in Ukrainian defenses.
- This strategy causes fragmentation and shortages within Ukrainian forces, undermining their ability to coordinate a continuous defense.
No Single Key Battlefront Now
- Multiple key battle areas are simultaneously contested, stretching Ukrainian defenses across critical logistics and defense hubs.
- Unlike before, there is no single dominant battle; the front is fragmented across many important towns and cities.
Weakening Ukrainian Defensive Lines
- Ukrainian efforts to create new defensive lines like the Surowieckian line are limited by manpower shortages and inevitable gaps.
- New lines will be weaker dams that will likely break quickly when faced with Russian advances.
