The pace of the Russian offensive in Ukraine has increased, but the war remains positional, summarized in a comment published on its website, The Institute for the Study of War.
Yesterday, the Washington-based think tank announced that Russia had seized 478 square kilometers since the start of this month - the most territory since March 2022.
Yesterday, the Institute for the Study of War reported that the pace at which Russian armed forces are advancing has picked up in recent weeks, but remains slow and consistent with positional warfare rather than rapid mechanized maneuvers. According to American analysts, after more than two and a half years of hostilities, the Russian offensive has generally stalled.
Recent Western assessments drawing parallels between the situation last month and after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2024 are very misleading, the Institute for the Study of War concluded.
