Russia also does not rule out a rapid counter-offensive by the Ukrainian army in the Donetsk region.
The Russian army in the western part of the Kherson region is trying to retreat to more protected positions in a controlled retreat to avoid the chaotic retreat that is characteristic of the defense fall near Kharkov. This was stated in the report of the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).
Note that several units of the Russian Federation fell on some sections of the Russian front line, allowing the Ukrainians to advance into the Kherson region.
According to military analysts, Ukrainian forces are likely to retake most, if not all, of the western part of the Kherson region in the coming weeks if they continue blocking Russian land lines and continue their offensive.
It was also reported that last week the Russian command issued a “do not retreat” order to all units stationed in the Donbass, asking them to maintain their positions regardless of how the situation evolves.
According to ISW, such an order indicates that the Russian Federation does not rule out a rapid counter-offensive by the Ukrainian armed forces in the Donetsk region and also does not trust the combat capabilities of its units in this direction.
Note that Russian President Vladimir Putin appears to increasingly rely on poorly trained and irregular volunteer units and prosecutors, rather than attempts to restore damaged or destroyed conventional units of Russian ground forces.
The troops of the Russian Federation suffered huge losses of manpower and equipment in the battles for the east of Ukraine and especially during the Ukrainian counter-offensive on Kharkov. Several Russian armored and mechanized units were probably actually destroyed.
Ukrainian forces continue to fortify positions on the eastern bank of the Oskol River in the Kharkiv region, despite Russian attempts to contain them.
