Newsweek: Russia Failed Its Summer Offensive Campaign

There will be no new coordinated offensive.

This summer, Russia will not launch a new coordinated offensive along hundreds of kilometers of the front line, Western and Ukrainian experts say. At the same time, Moscow claims to have captured another settlement in the Donetsk region. This is reported by Newsweek (translated by Focus).

“A repeat of a large-scale offensive along the entire front line, as in February 2022, is currently out of the question,” Ukrainian military intelligence spokesman Andriy Yusov told reporters.

At the same time, journalists note, Russian troops are slowly advancing toward the strategically important city of Pokrovske and claim to have captured Novoselivka Persha.

However, at the end of July, the Institute for the Study of War noted that Russian troops “are unlikely to conduct a new summer offensive operation due to limitations in material and human resources.”

At the end of the month, Russian forces were making localized advances in the western Donetsk region. However, the Russian Armed Forces lack the larger operational capability to resume an offensive in the Donetsk region or elsewhere on the frontline this summer, ISW noted.

Nick Reynolds, a research fellow in land warfare at the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) in London, agreed with this assessment.

But, he said, the situation is “fragile for both sides” and “highly unpredictable.”

Analysts and officials agree that the Kremlin is waging a war of attrition, hoping to destroy Kyiv’s personnel and equipment before its own resources run out.
