The Atlantic: Ukraine Can Win A War With Russia

Opportunities for long-term victory have opened up.

Hopes for a quick peace after US-Russia talks have failed, but Ukraine's strategy of a war of attrition is showing unexpected results. Continued enemy losses and the AFU's adaptation are opening up opportunities for long-term victory.

According to The Atlantic.

Strategic situation on the front

Russia had hoped for a rapid advance in northeastern Ukraine, but key cities and logistical hubs remain under Kiev's control.

The Atlantic Robert Forsyth Worth, a journalist who visited Ukrainian positions, said that despite the Russians' numerical advantage, their attempts to seize fortified areas were not yielding tangible results.

The AFU's technology and new approaches

Ukrainian officers said the key to containing the enemy's offensive is the effective use of limited resources. Drones, precise artillery strikes and optimal troop movement patterns are used on the battlefield. Force rotation and careful planning of combat operations help avoid direct confrontation and minimize Ukrainian casualties.

Turn in Confidence and Prospects

Worth said that nine months ago, the situation looked critical: Ukraine's weaponry was lagging behind and Russian "meat waves" of soldiers and mercenaries were advancing.

Now the journalist notes a new confidence: Ukraine is adapting its institutions for a long war, learning by doing, and continuing to inflict sustained casualties on the enemy while reducing its own risks. This transformation demonstrates that time, ostensibly playing in Russia's favor, may be gradually shifting in Ukraine's favor.
