Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu ordered the commander of the Eastern Military District, Colonel-General Rustam Muradov to take Ugledar at any cost.
Russian troops are preparing to resume offensive operations around Ugledar, although ongoing manpower and ammunition problems prevent them from advancing. This is stated in the report of the Institute for the Study of War.
Analysts note that footage posted on social media on March 8 shows personnel of the 136th separate motorized rifle brigade of the 58th Combined Arms Army of the Southern Military District asking the Russian military command to increase the amount of artillery ammunition. before replacing the Pacific Fleet’s 155th Marine infantry brigade near Ugledar and conducting ground attacks in the area.
The likely destruction of other units in the area, significant equipment losses, and reported continued artillery restrictions appear to prevent Russian forces from gaining significant tactical advantages should they decide to continue their offensive in place
Analysts also believe that the internal dynamics of the Russian army may be the reason for the potential continuation of offensive operations near Ugledar, which promise little operational benefit.
Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu ordered the commander of the Eastern Military District, Colonel General Rustam Muradov, to take Ugledar at any cost – to reduce criticism of the Russian Defense Ministry about the lack of development and significant losses in Vogledar area.
The Institute for the Study of War recalled that Shoigu may have recently visited Muradov in the west of the Donetsk region, perhaps to assess the reality of the attack on Ugledar, as well as Muradov’s future role as commander.
ISW estimates that Russian forces would need to advance 24 kilometers from the current front line around Vuhledar to support operations in the rest of Donetsk Oblast, a pace Russian forces have not advanced since the early months of a massive invasion of Ukraine.
Earlier, the Institute for the Study of War reported that the losses of the Russian Federation near Ugledar prove its inability to account for mistakes.
