Part 2/6:
Ukrainian forces have effectively capitalized on Russian supply shortcomings, particularly along the Dnipro River. With limited river crossings, Russian troops have faced challenges in maintaining robust supply lines to support their operations. Recognizing this weakness, Ukrainian drone operators unleashed a swarm of drones to monitor Russian movements, disrupting their advances and causing substantial losses.
The main objective for Russian forces remains the acquisition of key terrain—the hillridge surrounding Bova, which they aim to control before launching a full offensive. However, heavy rainfall and the consequent muddy terrain have restricted Russian maneuverability, forcing them into predictable crossing points, making them easy targets for Ukrainian drone attacks.
