And they are much more important than they might seem at first glance.
And now for the good news. We have good news from the front. And it’s much more significant than it might seem at first glance.
In July, Russian forces advanced approximately 36 km². If you look only at this figure, you might get the impression that the front line is moving. In reality, the picture is much more complex. According to DeepState’s estimates, the front line has remained virtually unchanged for the third month in a row. Some of the defense forces’ gains were mapped with a delay, and certain changes have not yet been published for operational security reasons. This is precisely why publicly available maps do not always reflect the true balance of changes.
The main conclusion lies not in the number of square kilometers, but in the shift in the very logic of the war. Whereas Russian troops were once able to advance rapidly in certain directions, today every assault comes at an extremely high cost to them. It is not uncommon for two or three Ukrainian drone crews to target a single occupier. This is precisely what significantly slows the pace of the offensive.
There has been much talk recently about a possible new mobilization in Russia. However, the sheer number of people alone no longer guarantees a result. The modern battlefield is defined not by mass infantry attacks, but by technology, unmanned systems, intelligence, command and control, and the speed of decision-making. Newly mobilized troops are unable to change this reality without proper training, technical support, and a technological edge.
This is precisely why the front is increasingly turning into a war of attrition, where innovation and quality—not quantity—are decisive. Ukraine has already proven that it is capable of changing the rules of this war. Our task is to maintain this technological advantage, scale it up, and continue to prevent the enemy from achieving its objectives.
