The Russians are trying to get out of trench warfare. Now they have a number of problems, but the enemy is still creating a tense situation at the front.
The Russian army is trying to get out of the fighting positions. The American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) writes about this. His analysis was based on reports from Russian so-called military correspondents. However, as analysts note, the Russian army has not yet been able to concentrate on some sectors of the front, because the invaders did not have enough resources to break the Ukrainian defense lines.
Targeted attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces
Moscow’s plans to withdraw from trench warfare are being thwarted by the Ukrainian military, ISW says. In particular, propagandists complain that the Ukrainian Armed Forces target Russian troops even in close rear areas.
One blogger complained that the Russian Army’s only solution at the moment was to attack with 10-20 herded infantrymen with armored vehicles supporting them at a “tremendous” distance behind the infantry.
Another Kremlin-connected military correspondent responded, agreeing with the first blogger, that the development of Ukrainian technology made it difficult for the invaders to concentrate multiple divisions in a single geographic area.
The military blogger stressed that Russian troops must both gain indirect fire superiority over Ukrainian defenders and modernize the Russian army’s command and control to move out of trench warfare.
“The characteristics and problems of trench warfare identified by Russian bloggers in recent discussions intersect with many of the systemic problems of the Russian military that bloggers have long complained about,” the ISW report said.
As experts note, there is no indication yet that the Russian military command has significantly improved any of these identified problems at the operational level necessary to break the positional front or at least one of the sectors.
Tactical achievements of the Russian Federation
At the same time, the ISW said that despite these systemic problems, the Russian army recently proved its ability to achieve minor tactical victories, in particular, near Kupyansk in the Kharkov region and near Novomikhailovka ( southwest of Donetsk).
In addition, as the ISW said in a report on January 23, the enemy advanced on Avdievka. Russia says the invaders moved more than a kilometer near the Avdeevsky quarry north of the city, but ISW could not confirm this claim.
The situation at the front is tense
The fact that the Russians are beginning to emerge from trench warfare and are having some success is confirmed by Deep State experts. So, last week in the direction of Svatovsky, the enemy regained part of the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces near Orlyanka. And to the east of Tabaevka, the Russian army destroyed the positions of one of the terrorist defense brigades, clarifying the situation.
The experts’ report for January 23 states that in the Svatovsky segment the enemy is gaining a foothold in the Krakhmalny area, and in the Serebryansky forestry in the last days it has been difficult: they lost something, repulsed something .
The hottest destinations are Bakhmutskoye and Avdeevskoye, analysts added. Thus, the tense situation remains near Belogorovka; the enemy will try to enter the village itself and gain a foothold. The activity of invaders was observed between Sporny and Vesely.
As for Avdiivka, the Deep State said that “strange events continue here out of the south… Many of the enemy’s actions defy logical explanation… Now it is important that the k*tsat not allowed to meet in private. sector. The enemy continues to press Pervomayskoye “.
In general, analysts admit that the tense situation currently remains in many sectors of the front.
“The main attention is on the southern outskirts of Avdievka, here is the fate of the next months of the Avdiivka defense operation. To some extent, that zone can be called the Bermuda Triangle, because a lot of strange things are happening, it seems that the what he wants to do is the enemy himself,” the experts concluded.
