George Friedman - Ukraine Turns Russian Breakthrough Into Total Collapse

Описание: The battlefield in Eastern Ukraine has erupted once again, but this time the story is different. Russia’s relentless push into fortified Ukrainian defenses has met fierce resistance — and for the first time in weeks, the offensive has stalled. What began as a dangerous breach into Ukraine’s main defense line has turned into a desperate struggle for survival as supply lines collapse and troops face shortages of food, water, and ammunition.

Ukraine’s elite units — the 25th Brigade, the Wolves of Da Vinci, Azov forces, and others — moved swiftly to halt Russia’s advance. Their rapid response cut key supply routes, forced Russian withdrawals, and exposed the fragility of Moscow’s war machine. What looked like a breakthrough has now become a battlefield trap.

This fight reveals the brutal reality of the war: Russia has more men, more equipment, and more resources — yet their operational incompetence continues to erode any momentum. Ukrainian resilience, backed by tactical innovation and relentless pressure, has turned the tide in Donbas.

But the struggle isn’t over. New Russian vectors threaten fresh battles, while Ukraine faces its own internal challenges with outdated command structures and leadership decisions. Amid resignations, reforms, and rising frustrations, Ukraine must not only fight Russia — but transform its military to survive.

What happens next could shape the outcome of this entire sector. Can Ukraine push further, choke Russian supply routes completely, and force a retreat? Or will Moscow find a way to regroup and reignite its offensive?

The war in Eastern Europe is no longer just about territory — it’s about survival, strategy, and the cost of every decision made on and off the battlefield.
