"Ukraine is shifting a portion of its combat operations onto an asymmetrical plane. It targets complex and expensive Russian weaponry with cost-effective means. Both sides are striving to ramp up the production of drones, ammunition, and various weapons. The Ukrainian army is gradually neutralizing artillery, the main advantage of the Russian army on the battlefield. In the overall front situation, the Ukrainian army holds an advantage in artillery and reactive multiple launch rocket systems. Both sides are conducting offensive actions, positional battles, and engaging in reciprocal exchanges of strikes using various means of engagement against rearward targets," emphasized a military expert.
On the Frontlines
The greatest activity on the frontlines is concentrated in the southern operational zone.
The Russian army maintains its activity in the direction of Kupyansk and Lyman in the Kharkiv region. It attempts to launch offensives in various directions within the Donetsk region and has mobilized a significant portion of its operational reserves. Its forces are strained in the southern operational zone. By constructing pontoon bridges in the south, they have partially restored supply lines to their forces in this zone. In an effort to halt the Ukrainian advance, they resort to aerial strikes to compensate for the reduction in their artillery fire density.
The Ukrainian army is making headway in the south and is launching offensives in various directions from the settlements of Urozhainoye and Rabotyne. They are conducting offensive actions in the east, specifically in the Bahmut direction. After liberating the aforementioned settlements, they have expanded the width and depth of their incursion into the main defense line (Surovkin Line), which consists of two strips. They are carrying out attacks in various directions, probing the enemy's defenses.
Judging from the overall situation in the south, the probability of the Ukrainian offensive gaining momentum and scale in the next 5-7 days is increasing
