Motuzyanyk recalled that the Russians failed the so-called first stage of large-scale aggression – to seize the entire territory of Ukraine along with Kyiv and establish a pro-Russian regime. After that, the Russians moved to the second stage, allegedly focusing only on the east and south of Ukraine.

“We are also observing some tactical changes in the actions of Russian units – they are trying to learn and adapt to the conditions of warfare that Ukrainian units are now doing,” Motuzyanyk said.

According to him, the Russians are no longer just throwing infantry into some areas, but are trying to conduct reconnaissance, calculate possible options and are no longer as “sharp” as at the beginning of a full-scale invasion.

Motuzyanyk stressed that the Russian troops are now trying to carry out the movement of their troops with some air cover, which was not observed before, and because of which the Russians suffered such huge losses even at the stage of movement.

“But, unfortunately, the main tactic of the Russian army – the tactic of” scorched earth “- has not gone away. The Russians are destroying settlements, wiping them off the face of the earth, destroying infrastructure, sparing neither people, nor territory, nor buildings,” the spokesman said. Ministry of Defense.

In his opinion, the Russian troops are acting according to such an invariable tactic, since the Russian leadership demands “victories” from them in order to “sell” them to society in the Russian Federation.
