I’m an experienced US Army Combat veteran, and I’m here to discuss a crucial development in the Ukraine-Russia conflict. Ukrainian forces have confirmed they control over 12,200 square kilometers of Russian territory, which raises questions about the effectiveness of the Russian defense. I’ll be analyzing the situation and sharing my insights.

The Ukrainian counteroffensive in the Kremenchuk region has been successful, with Ukrainian forces advancing 16 kilometers, more than double the distance reached last year. This is significant, as it indicates Ukrainian forces are making significant gains against Russian defenses. The importance of Ukraine’s objective lies in pushing Russian forces over to the north side of the Siverodonetsk River, south of the SI River, and securing the region.

Russian forces are still conducting a maneuverable defense, which involves retreating from one defensive line and launching a counterattack from another. However, this strategy is not ideal, as it leaves Russian forces vulnerable to further retreats and counterattacks. The Ukrainian advance has been so successful that Russian forces are struggling to reconstitute their defenses.

The key to Ukraine’s success lies in its ability to exploit Russian weaknesses and secure the southern bank of the river. This will allow Ukraine to create a pocket of Russian forces, cutting off their ability to reinforce or resupply, ultimately forcing them to withdraw.

The timing of Ukraine’s operations is crucial, as it allows them to continue pushing Russian forces back while also creating an opportunity to exchange Russian prisoners of war. The effective implementation of this strategy will ultimately lead to Russia’s defeat in the region.

It’s essential to understand that Russia has not stopped its own offensive in the region, and gains made by Ukraine are being offset slowly but surely by Russian advances. The scale of Russian gains is often exaggerated, and Ukraine’s recent successes have come at the cost of Russian lives and resources.

As a combat veteran, I believe that Ukraine’s strategy is best suited to their capabilities, focusing on rapid maneuver warfare to achieve swift and decisive victories. The success of these operations has significant implications for the conflict as a whole, and I will continue to analyze and provide updates as the situation develops.
