Kremlin Has Driven Inself In A Corner

Collapse cannot be avoided.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces are advancing in the Bakhmut and Melitopol directions, but the advance is slow in overcoming minefields, engineering obstacles and a layered defense line. For an outside observer, such an advance is almost invisible, as are the heavy battles in other areas.

Judging by dry reports, the front is standing still. In fact, there are very difficult battles going on. The Kremlin gave the command to the Russian General Staff to restore lost positions on all sectors of the front. Therefore, there are continuous attacks on the positions of our troops.

In the Kupyansk-Lyman direction, the enemy fortified themselves with units of the 25th Combined Arms Army and, I think, not for defense. The enemy does not abandon his intentions to capture Kharkiv and the entire region. In order to divert our reserves from the Melitopol direction, it is possible that the enemy will launch a massive offensive in this direction.

Units of the Wagner PMC are deployed near Bakhmut, but most likely they appeared there with the aim of exerting psychological pressure on the Ukrainian Armed Forces. But you can’t scare our people anymore, and the situation is no longer the same as it was last autumn, especially with the weapons of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

In the Avdiivka-Maryinka directions, the Russians carry out 5-12 attacks per day, but they cannot regain even the recently lost positions near Opytne. The Russians are rotating there, strengthening themselves with armored vehicles and deploying snipers. In addition to this, the artillery and constant air raids do not subside.

It’s about the same on the Vuhledar-Staromlynivka section. The enemy is trying to regain positions near Novodonetsk and Pryjutne. Therefore, he tries to attack from the flanks, but to no avail.

But in the Melitopol direction, the enemy launched attacks from both sides of the formed ledge near Robotyne: from Kopan and from Verbove towards each other, creating a threat of encirclement. But such possible actions by the enemy of the Ukrainian Armed Forces have long been known.

What is common on all sectors of the front is that the enemy has brought up new reserves, including strategic ones. There is a gradual rotation and further strengthening. One gets the impression that the enemy does not so much want to attack as to hold their positions. At the same time, he focused his main efforts on destroying the rear infrastructure of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. And given the “accuracy” of Russian weapons, civilian infrastructure is being destroyed and civilians are dying.

It looks like the Kremlin has driven itself into a corner. It cannot end the war without victory, but its further continuation leads not only to defeat, but also to the collapse of the Putin regime with many unpredictable consequences for all of Russia.
