The summer impetus of Russia in Ukraine is aimed at three fronts, but faces harsh resistance

While Russian drones and missile attacks on Ukraine reached the level of records, its military demands territorial income on the ground.

Last month, Russian troops confiscated 556 square km (215 square miles), its largest this year, according to an open source Monitoring website in Ukraine. This area is four times higher than the size of the Liverpool and almost the same size as the city of Chicago.

Russia’s goal is to disable the supply routes used by Ukrainian troops in the East and create a buffer zone within the northern borders of Ukraine.

But its promotion remains relatively slow. It will take more than 70 years at this pace to capture the whole country.

Most Russian attacks were focused on three areas:

• The Sumi region that borders on Russia in the northeast
• Two eastern cities of Pokrovsk and Kastiants
• Third front, west of Pokrovsk

Russian troops managed to push about 10-12 km (6-7.5 miles) depth in the Sumi region, but this progress stopped in the face of brutal resistance.

Vladimir Putin says he wants to create a buffer zone to protect the Russian territory after the Ukrainian forces attempted on Kursk last summer. Russian troops eventually expelled them with the help of North Korean troops and ammunition.

Then the Russians moved to Ukraine, but quickly drowned out in the fight through the small border villages that continue to change today. Without serious reinforcement, it is unlikely that Russian troops will be able to advance much further.

Another northern region where the Russian army is reportedly crossing the state border is Kharkiv. Last week, they claimed that the border village seizure, but without significant resources, they would hardly receive additional income.

Military observers believe that these operations are aimed at forceing Ukraine to spread its strength too thin throughout the 1200 km front line to distract troops from key areas.

One of these frontline areas is Pokrovsk, a strategic center in eastern Ukraine, which Moscow has been trying to capture for more than two years. According to the head of the General General of the Army of Ukraine Oleksandra Siskei, Russia focused about 111,000 troops in the area.

The Russians rarely start mass attacks, says Lieutenant Artem Privilenova from the 155th Brigade of Ukraine, located near Pokrovsk.

Any large movement of troops and armored vehicles will be quickly discovered and destroyed by drones. Instead, says the Russians are counting on small infantry troops, which mercilessly attack Ukrainian positions, sometimes on motorcycles, but most often on foot.

This kind of “creeping offensive”, as some call it, aimed at the depleting resources of Kiev, until the endless waves of Russian soldiers eventually displace the Ukrainians from their positions. But the price they pay is scary.

The General Staff of Ukraine a day brings Russian losses to more than 1000 soldiers. BBC cannot check these figures on their own, but they testify to the great losses that Russia suffers.

The purpose of Russia in eastern Ukraine seems to be the creation of “Casan”, half -leaved from the Ukrainians around Pokrovsk and Kastiyantinka, and then forcing them to retreat.

Russian troops are now trying to enter the area between the two cities to create a “fee from where they can attack the Pokrovsk or Kastiantin,” says Mad Victor Trekhubov, a spokeswoman for the Khortytsya Stence Group, which cards in the East of Ukraine.

The breakthrough here is not considered likely. Russia’s progress between Kastiantinka and Pokrovsk is already slowing down, and previous attempts to push out of the other parties has been hidden.

The biggest Russian profit in recent weeks has been further west of Pokrovsk, in the area called Ukrainian military as Novopavlivske the direction, Named after the village Novopavlya, which became a defense center after the retreat to the west of Ukrainian troops.

Bone Mashtianin’s military observer says Moscow’s operation was the most threatening for Ukraine when its defense measures “collapsed”, which allowed the Russians to move up to 10 km a day.

Their step was so fast that Russian military bloggers even claimed that their troops reached the neighboring region for the first time after the invasion.

Ukrainian military officials deny these claims, saying that a small group of Russian soldiers entered the village in the Dnipraperovsk region to take pictures with the Russian flag, but was quickly “eliminated”. However, the Institute for Studying the War shows that Russian troops are still working there.

May Trekhub claims that this area offers little strategic advantage for Russian troops, and their attack has been motivated by political goals.

The next further to the Dnipropetrovsk region can work well for propaganda messages, but will require more resources that are currently associated with a call and coastian.

The Ukrainians still face increased pressure on the forefront, as Russian troops are constantly trying to cut off their power lines with unmanned attacks.

“The routes we used two months ago, we cannot use them now, not in the daytime, even at night,” said Sergeant Victor Piasecki staff from the 93rd Brigade of Ukraine, located near the BBC phone by phone.

As a result, he delivered food and ammunition, as a result, it became extremely difficult and slow, evacuated the wounded and rotated the troops on the front line.

Russian drones, like Gerber, can fly hundreds of kilometers to reach places that have been considered as safe until recently.

Their purpose is not only to erase the defense lines but also to “terrorize the population,” says sergeant Pestsky staff. “They systematically destroy civil buildings. They want to undermine morality and weaken our faith in Ukraine’s ability to stop the Russians.”

When he said, he was slaughtered by the drones. Shortly thereafter, reports of an apartment unit appeared. It was later confirmed that the staff sergeant survived.
