Russia’s Spring Offensive Is Failing Before It Starts

Описание: Ukraine’s winter and early spring campaign is doing more than holding the line — it’s actively shaping the battlefield in ways that could undermine Russia’s next major push before it fully begins. Precision strikes on Russian oil infrastructure, repeated hits in occupied territories, and the emergence of low-cost Ukrainian ballistic capabilities are steadily degrading logistics, fuel supply, and command coordination. At the same time, Russian forces are still conducting strikes of their own, but mounting equipment losses, troop attrition, and persistent morale challenges are complicating any large-scale offensive planning. Ukraine, meanwhile, is combining battlefield pressure with technological adaptation, leveraging drones, AI-assisted targeting, and asymmetric tactics to stretch Russian defenses. As Moscow redeploys forces just to stabilize existing lines, the question is no longer whether a spring offensive is coming — but whether it can succeed under these conditions.
