Part 2/7:
Advances and Resistance
Russia's attempts to make progress in regions such as the pocket of Dutch and towards Baranka are highlighted, with Dennis describing the ongoing situation as a "gray zone." Russian advancements have been slow, as they face resistance, particularly around the city of Pakros. The situation in the region seems to reflect a decline in Russian offensive operations due to exhausted resources and adverse winter weather conditions that previously hindered their capabilities last year.
Despite recent Russian claims of territorial gains, there has been little change in the overall front lines. Ukrainian forces have mounted counterattacks, pushing back Russian troops from areas like Mova, indicating a steady but tense state of warfare.
