"The Ukrainian army's strategy might not look spectacular, but it works when continued to its logical end. It is exactly how an army would operate in order to soften up an entrenched enemy to a point where it is untenable to continue to fight and they would have to withdraw. All that is needed is stamina and patience."

📍 FRONT-LINE UPDATE -🗺️ MAP LEGEND
Tendar's Analysis of Ukrainian Strategy
Key points from Tendar's analysis:
- Ukrainians are cracking Russian defense lines step-by-step, driving a chisel into the lines and widening the rift by moving into the flanks. This is how you break defense networks and it is working.
- More importantly, Russian troop movements show desperation. Deployment of the 76th Guards Air Assault Division for defensive operations proves Ukrainian progress has reached a critical state. It diminishes Russian offensive capabilities.
- The Russian offensive at Kupyansk/Kremina is exposed as a diversionary tactic.
Jonathan agrees with the analysis, noting the Russians lack strength and reserves, having to pull troops from one frontline area to another, leaving other areas exposed. He believes the Ukrainian strategy of hammering logistics, artillery, air defenses and troops will degrade Russian abilities to defend and go on the offensive, even if territorial gains are not immediately apparent. Patience is key.
