Kyiv: Monitoring Desk – There is a lack of “strike force” in Russia to launch the planned large-scale offensive. The advance of its troops takes place only near Bakhmut. All Putin has is the mobilized Russian drunkards and the unemployed. Even with their long-term training, the Russian army is already forever deprived of the potential it had before a full-scale invasion. The restoration of potential is possible only in case of a tactical pause, during which Russia will renew and regroup its forces.
