There are active battles at front, there are many casualties on both sides, defenders of Ukraine are hitting entire depth of enemy’s battle formations, - Butusov
The Ukrainian defense forces have effectively stopped the Russian offensive. Russian troops have lost their offensive capabilities in many parts of the frontline.
Yuriy Butusov, the editor-in-chief of Censor.NET, writes about this in a blog post on Censor.NET.
"There are active operations at the frontline, I would call it a struggle for tactical initiative. Thanks to these active actions, our defense forces have completely stopped the offensive of the 'second army in Ukraine'. Somewhere the enemy is more active, somewhere we are, in many areas, Russian troops have lost their offensive capabilities," he wrote.
According to Butusov, our artillery is actively working with precise drone control. Ukraine's defenders are striking to the depths of the enemy's combat formations.
At the same time, heavy fighting is taking place. There are many casualties on both sides.
Butusov writes that the Russians are conducting an active media campaign to boost the morale of their army. "The enemy's increasing number of drones allows them to post videos of our losses. Of course, the enemy has an advantage in armored vehicles, aircraft, helicopters, and if Russian intelligence manages to spot the movement of our units in advance, the fighting is tough," he said.
According to Censor.NET's editor-in-chief, conclusions should be drawn from all such cases. The experience should be turned into video lessons, planning documents, promotion of competent leaders, and removal of those who fail.
"The main thing, in my opinion, is to understand the doctrine that in modern warfare, any actions are justified only if the rate of losses and the ratio of losses as a result of these actions are in our favor," he concluded.
