Russia is in crisis, Putin is starting to talk about general mobilization which will be a blow to the rule of dictator Putin and his criminal accomplices.
Ukraine has knocked out most of Russia’s war material
Russia is almost out of tanks and the few that are left have been placed as far away from the front as possible and fire their shells from there without precision.
And the small number of tanks that are newly produced are placed by Russia’s fear of invasion along the border with Finland and other surrounding countries
Russian elite units are being withdrawn from the front
Russia is now withdrawing elite units from the front line in Donetsk.
In recent times, the Ukrainian forces in Liman in the northern parts of Donetsk oblast have reaped significant successes.
The Russian losses are heavy, and now there is news that Russia is withdrawing elite units from the front line in northern Donetsk because they are losing so many personnel, reports Kyiv Independent.
Units are being withdrawn
These are elite units from the Rubicon drone group – which has been hailed in Russia as one of the most effective groups on the front.
Ukraine’s ongoing offensive, codenamed “Operation Vivaldi”, has led to massive Russian losses. And now the elite units are being withdrawn from the front.
Fighters from the 3rd Corps knocked out Rubicon’s command system: they destroyed its logistics, ammunition depots, drone launch sites, newly formed units and experienced drone operators, the Ukrainian army emphasizes.
“Lost their capabilities”
Rubicon specializes in hijacking logistics, hunting Ukrainian drone teams on the ground and intercepting reconnaissance and attack drones, and consists of detachments, each of which includes several hundred people.
The Russians lost the ability to quickly replenish the unit with resources and trained personnel, the Ukrainian army continues.
Now the elite units are being withdrawn to protect themselves from excessive losses.
Ukraine is advancing
In recent months, Ukrainian military forces have been making strong advances in the Liman direction.
The reputable think tank Institute for the Study of War notes that “Operation Vivaldi” demonstrates Ukraine’s recent progress in restoring elements of tactical maneuver on the battlefield.
That’s why Vivaldi is succeeding
According to the deputy commander of the 3rd Corps, Major Maksym Zhorin, silence has been a recipe for success.
Here’s what it sounds like from ISW:
– He explains that Ukraine’s Operation Vivaldi in the Liman direction was successful due to strict adherence to information secrecy and the lack of reporting on the ongoing counteroffensive, which misled the Russian military leadership and facilitated Ukrainian advances.
