Ukraine seizes strategic initiative and may win war with russia - The Atlantic

Hopes for a quick end to the war through negotiations between the US and russia have not come true, but Ukraine's strategy of a war of attrition is beginning to yield unexpected results. The constant losses of the russian army and the adaptation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine create the prerequisites for a long-term victory for Ukraine.

This is reported by The Atlantic.

Strategic situation at the front

Russian troops planned a rapid advance in northeastern Ukraine, but key cities and important logistical routes remain under the control of the Ukrainian army.

The Atlantic journalist Robert Forsyth Worth, who visited Ukrainian positions, noted that despite the numerical superiority, the russian federation's attempts to break through the fortifications do not yield significant results.

Ukrainian officers explained that the basis of success is the competent use of limited resources. Drones, precision artillery, and well-thought-out maneuvering routes are actively used at the front. The rotation of units and careful planning of combat operations make it possible to avoid head-on clashes and reduce one's own losses.

Changing moods and perspectives

According to Worth, just nine months ago the situation seemed extremely difficult: Ukraine lagged behind in the supply of weapons, and russian assaults were advancing in numerous waves. Now, the journalist records a noticeable change: the Ukrainian state is rebuilding its institutions for a protracted war, learning from practice and inflicting stable losses on the enemy, while at the same time reducing its own risks.

These processes indicate that the time factor, which previously seemed to be on russia's side, is gradually starting to work in Ukraine's favor.
