Has the Orthodox Easter truce held? According to Ukrainian data, it has not. They have reported over 2000 truce violations by the Russian Federation.
President Zelensky said that if the truce is violated, Ukraine will respond in kind. So far, Ukraine has not reported attacks on civilian infrastructure and cities by Russia.
The war continues. The Russians are advancing, although their intensity is no longer as great. Overall, we are in a static war of attrition where neither side has achieved decisive success.
In the last three to four months, Ukraine has seen some positive developments. They have stabilized the front, taken the initiative in certain sectors, and liberated occupied territories. On the southern front, about 500 square kilometers have been liberated.
Ukraine's success is a combination of several factors. One of the most important is effective deep combat, where enemy targets are attacked up to 100 kilometers deep.
The targets are logistical hubs, fuel depots, ammunition depots, and troop gathering points. This prevents the enemy from reaching the front.
In addition, there is effective air defense. In the last three months, about 90 air defense systems have been destroyed. An average of one system per day.
Ukraine has achieved quantitative and qualitative superiority over Russia in drone warfare. For example, in terms of attack drones, the ratio is 1.3 to one in Ukraine's favor.
Ukrainian drones have advanced technologically. One-third use fiber optic cables, which ensures resistance to electronic interference.
Only 25 percent of Russian drones use fiber optic cables. This makes Ukrainian drones more effective in electronic warfare.
Ukraine has effectively developed counter-drone technology. Counter-drone systems eliminated 3000 enemy drones in January, 4000 in February, and 8000 in March.
Ukraine can see very well beyond 100 kilometers. They use sensors, observation tools, and reconnaissance drones. This allows them to carry out effective attacks.
Russia is working very intensively in the field of unmanned systems. General Syrskiy said that the Russian Armed Forces have about 100,000 fighters in unmanned systems.
It is important for Ukraine to maintain this success. Russia plans to reach 165,000 unmanned system fighters by the end of the year.
Ukraine has been able to stabilize the front and prevent the traditional spring offensive. For example, the Ukrainian attack in the Huliaipole direction in the Zaporizhzhia region was a preemptive action against the Russian Federation's spring offensive.
