Fierce battles are ongoing in the Pokrovsk region. Russian forces are trying to use more heavy equipment, tanks, and armored vehicles. They want to turn the situation in their favor.
The battles are intense. But Ukraine has emerged from such situations before.
According to Laneman, Russian forces have launched two major offensives. Both times, it ended in disaster for Russian troops.
Laneman says that Russian forces are not very smart, but they are persistent. They don’t care about subordinates and are willing to do something that will cause heavy losses.
In the case of major offensives, it is important to control the air. Russian forces do not have this. All concentrated units are good targets. If the Russians have no problem with heavy losses, they will continue this in the future.
Laneman believes that Russian forces are trying to continue in the same way.
