Small victories that follow one another while Vladimir Putin’s men suffer setbacks, that has a weight in the balance.
And the setbacks of the Russian army from an operational and material point of view do not help, as Nicolas Gosset reveals : “The army is a mass of skills. From the quality of operational planning to armament and the motivation of men, the mass of Ukrainian skills is increasing while the mass of Russian skills is decreasing“, indicates the expert.
“The Ukrainians have the wind in their favor at the moment, it boosts morale and if the quality of command and the delivery of armaments follow, it allows the Ukrainian army to break through the Russian lines“, reports Nicolas Gosset.
“But conversely, there are command problems on the Russian side which are obviously not resolved and morale is down. In the newly annexed areas where martial law applies, people have no choice. These troops are poorly equipped, less motivated and they are the cannon fodder of the Russian army, which makes these battalions less efficient, disjointed“, he specifies.
We really had a sieve effect, an effect of the collapse of Russian lines across hundreds of kilometers in the northeast of the country.
On the ground, the Russians are retreating and the Ukrainian troops continue to break through the front lines which are still disorganized: “We really had a sieve effect, an effect of the collapse of Russian lines across hundreds of kilometers in the northeast of the country. The troops retreated, trying to fix a front line to their advantage, but in terrain conditions that were no longer favorable to them, with the cost of human losses, disorganization, loss of equipment. It is increasingly difficult for the Russian General Staff to reinforce its battalions and fill the gaps in terms of equipment and human terms“.
