Russian forces are struggling to overcome the challenges posed by Ukraineโ€™s terrain.
(2/4)
Russian forces have remained largely tied to Ukraineโ€™s road network and have demonstrated a reluctance to conduct off-road manoeuvre. The destruction of bridges by Ukrainian forces has also played a key role in stalling Russiaโ€™s advance.
(3/4)

Russiaโ€™s continued failure to gain control of the air has drastically limited their ability to effectively use air manoeuvre, further limiting their options.
(4/4)
The tactics of the Ukrainian Armed Forces have adeptly exploited Russiaโ€™s lack of manoeuvre, frustrating the Russian advance and inflicting heavy losses on the invading forces.

(2/4) Logistical problems continue to beset Russiaโ€™s faltering invasion of Ukraine.
(3/4) Reluctance to manoeuvre cross-country, lack of control of the air and limited bridging capabilities are preventing Russia from effectively resupplying their forward troops with even basic essentials such as food and fuel.

Given the delays in achieving their objectives and failure to control Ukrainian airspace, Russia has probably expended far more stand-off air launched weapons than originally planned.
(2/3)

As a result, it is likely Russia is resorting to the use of older, less precise weapons, which are less militarily effective and more likely to result in civilian casualties.

Russia is increasingly seeking to generate additional troops to bolster and replace its personnel losses in Ukraine. As a result of these losses it is likely Russia is struggling to conduct offensive operations in the face of sustained Ukrainian resistance.
(2/4)
Continued personnel losses will also make it difficult for Russia to secure occupied territory.
