Analysts note that despite showing initiative on the battlefield, the Russian army suffers from many weaknesses that Ukraine has learned to exploit, while the combined economic power of Ukraine’s allies is many times higher than that of Russia.
The Institute for the Study of War added that the Russian media noted an increase in the number of deaths after the Russian offensives in October. Analysts emphasize that Russian troops are currently supporting the offensive operations despite heavy losses, but it is unclear whether this can continue at a higher operational level, as it would lead to more casualties.
