The continuing of #Russian offensive operations around #Bakhmut and #Avdiivka, as well as along the #Luhansk and western #Donetsk front lines, is a further indicator that #Putin remains committed to victory in a protracted war.

#Putin instead remains focused on achieving his initial war aims through protracted conflict in which he wins either by imposing his will on #Ukraine by force or by breaking #Ukraine’s will following the West’s abandonment of #Kyiv.

Multiple successful #Ukrainian counter-offensives are almost certainly necessary but not sufficient to either persuade #Putin to negotiate on acceptable terms. . . 2/3
. . . or to create military conditions on the ground favorable enough to #Ukraine and the West that continued or renewed #Russian attacks pose acceptable threats to Ukraine or #NATO. 3/3

#Russian Occupation Update:
#Ukrainian Melitopol Mayor Ivan Fedorov stated on March 25 that Russian occupation authorities and Ukrainian collaborators held a secret meeting wherein they prepared plans to evacuate from #Zaporizhia Oblast.

#Ukrainian Melitopol Mayor Ivan Fedorov stated on March 25 that Russian occupation authorities and Ukrainian collaborators held a secret meeting wherein they prepared plans to evacuate from #Zaporizhia Oblast.
isw.pub/UkrWar032523
Such preparations are understandable due to pervasive #Russian fear of a pending #Ukrainian counteroffensive in #Zaporizhia Oblast, on which ISW has previously reported. 2/
The reported readiness of occupation authorities to evacuate suggests that occupation authorities may have low confidence in the ability of #Russian forces to stop a #Ukrainian counteroffensive. 3/3

#Ukrainian and Western officials offered various views of the state of the #Russian offensive in #Bakhmut on March 25, but all are consistent with the assessment that the Russian effort around Bakhmut is likely culminating.

As #Russian offensives culminate and Ukraine prepares to launch counter-offensives, #Putin claimed that the West cannot sustain weapons provisions to 🇺🇦 & exaggerated 🇷🇺's potential to mobilize its own defense industrial base (DIB) ... 1/3

... to create the false impression that further #Ukrainian resistance & Western support to 🇺🇦is futile.
#Putin’s comments are an information operation designed to revive the aura of #Soviet-era military industry and massed forces. 2/3

The tempo of #Russian operations around #Bakhmut appears to be slowing amid Western reporting that Russian forces may be attempting to launch offensives in other directions. (1/5) isw.pub/UkrWar032223
2/ #Russian forces made additional marginal advances in southern #Bakhmut, and Ukrainian forces conducted counterattacks on the southwestern and northwestern outskirts of the city on March 21 and 22.
3/ #Russian forces are currently increasing the tempo of their offensive operations around #Avdiivka aiming to encircle the settlement - possibly at the expense of their operations around #Bakhmut and the stalled offensive around #Vuhledar. isw.pub/UkrWar032223

Commenting on a new $350 million package of #US military aid for #Ukraine, he said, “#Washington is obsessed with the idea of inflicting a strategic defeat on our country. With its steps, the [US] administration is only pushing the Ukrainian radicals toward new terrible deeds,”
According to the #Russian envoy, “with each delivery of military equipment, the [#Ukrainian President Vladimir] #Zelensky regime feels more & more impunity. It continues to kill civilians in the #Donbass, #Zaporozhye & #Kherson regions of #Russia with pure cynicism,”

#Russian President Vladimir #Putin visited occupied #Mariupol on March 19, likely to project the image of invulnerability and to continue efforts to portray himself as an involved wartime leader. isw.pub/UkrWar031923
2/ #Putin also likely meant his visit to be a response to the International Criminal Court’s arrest warrant for his involvement in war crimes connected to the deportation of #Ukrainian children, at least 1,000 of whom #Russian officials deported from #Mariupol alone.
3/ #Putin’s visit to #Mariupol likely also aimed to assuage a longstanding and pervasive fear in the nationalist space about a prospective Ukrainian counteroffensive in southern #Ukraine. isw.pub/UkrWar031923
#Ukrainian forces likely conducted a localized counterattack southwest of #Bakhmut amid growing #Russian discussion about a potential Ukrainian counteroffensive in the Bakhmut area. isw.pub/UkrWar031923
2/ Geolocated footage published on March 19 indicates that #Ukrainian forces conducted a successful counterattack southwest of Ivanivske (6km west of #Bakhmut) and pushed Russian forces further away from the T0504 highway in the area.
3/ #Ukrainian Eastern Group of Forces Spokesperson Colonel Serhiy Cherevaty reported that #Russian forces conducted 25 attacks in the Bakhmut area on March 19, but Russian forces likely only secured marginal gains.
