Commissar SFLUFAN Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 ISW analysis for 24 March 2022: Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, March 24 | Institute for the Study of War WWW.UNDERSTANDINGWAR.ORG Russian forces continue to make slow but steady progress in Mariupol, entering the city center on March 24, but conducted few offensive operations elsewhere in the country. Ukrainian counterattacks northwest of Kyiv in the past several days continue to Quote Russian forces continue to make slow but steady progress in Mariupol, entering the city center on March 24, but conducted few offensive operations elsewhere in the country. Ukrainian counterattacks northwest of Kyiv in the past several days continue to relieve pressure on the city, and Russian forces continued to dig in. Ukrainian forces repelled limited Russian attacks northeast of the city and around Kharkiv. Key Takeaways Russian forces entered central Mariupol on March 24 and continued to take ground across the city. Local Ukrainian authorities left the city in order to better coordinate regional operations amid the deteriorating situation in Mariupol itself. Ukrainian forces conducted a successful attack on Russian ships docked at the occupied port of Berdyansk, likely sinking a landing ship and damaging or sinking another. Ukraine’s demonstrated ability to inflict serious damage on Berdyansk may disrupt Russian forces from renewing attempts to reinforce operations in Mariupol and around Kherson by sea. Ukrainian forces did not retake any territory in continuing counterattacks northwest of Kyiv but forced Russian troops onto the defensive. Ukrainian forces repelled renewed Russian attempts to advance toward Brovary from the northeast and complete the encirclement of Chernihiv. Russian forces continue to shell Kharkiv and struck a humanitarian aid delivery point, killing six and wounding 15. Russian forces secured several minor advances in Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts in the last 24 hours. The Ukrainian government and military directly stated for the first time on March 24 that the Kremlin believes its invasion of Ukraine has entered a second, “protracted” phase. The head of Zelensky’s office, Myhailo Podolyak, stated that Russia seeks to turn the war into a partially “protracted phase” due to high losses in personnel and equipment and the lack of significant progress in any direction. Podolyak stated the Kremlin is changing its tactics and going on the defensive to reduce Russian casualties “to an acceptable (from a propaganda point of view) level.”[1] The Ukrainian General Staff similarly stated that the Russian military leadership is "beginning to realize that the available forces and means are not enough to maintain the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine and are conducting defensive operations.”[2] ISW previously assessed on March 19 that Ukrainian forces have defeated the initial Russian campaign of the war and that Russian forces would likely go over to the defense.[3] The Ukrainian General Staff stated on March 24 that the Kremlin is prioritizing restoring combat capabilities in VDV (airborne) units.[4] The General Staff reported Russian commanders are increasingly deploying reserve officers, conscripts, and obsolete armored vehicles to replace losses.[5] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Just how conspicuous are these Russian senior level officers making themselves that their presence is obvious to Ukrainian snipers? Are they demanding to be saluted in the field by their subordinates or are they hated so very much by their subordinates that they're being pointed out to any Ukrainian snipers in the area? I'm imagining a lower-ranking Russian solider feverishly gesturing/pointing in the direction of his senior commanding officers when their backs are turned: "LOOK! HE'S RIGHT OVER THERE! THAT'S THE ONE YOU WANT!" or being extremely lax with communications discipline: "Am I to understand your order correctly, Colonel who is currently located in the 3rd BTR-90 from the front of this column?" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At which point does Ukraine accept and let the sanctions get lifted or fight on? If Russia pulls out of the north that'll free up a lot of the Ukrainian Army to redeploy east.

I get the impression Ukraine has no intention of giving up any land. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
