Strategic Gains in Russian Territory

Ukraine's recent incursions into Russian territory have led to the control of nearly 400 square miles, including the capture of over 70 towns and villages. This unexpected move has disrupted Russian military operations, creating disorder and confusion within their ranks as they struggle to formulate an effective response. The offensive not only changes the perception of an inevitable Russian victory but also allows Ukraine to strike critical targets, such as airfields, which are being used to launch attacks against Ukrainian civilians. This shift in momentum highlights Ukraine's capability to adapt and respond strategically despite Russia's numerical superiority.
