(2/4) Russian forces are continuing to encircle a number of cities across eastern Ukraine.
(3/4) Over the past week Russian forces have made limited progress in capturing these cities; instead, Russia has increased its indiscriminate shelling of urban areas resulting in widespread destruction and large numbers of civilian casualties.

(2/4) The Ukrainian Air Force and Air Defence Forces are continuing to effectively defend Ukrainian airspace.
(3/4) Russia has failed to gain control of the air and is largely relying on stand-off weapons launched from the relative safety of Russian airspace to strike targets within Ukraine.

(1 of 4)
The Kremlin has so far failed to achieve its original objectives. It has been surprised by the scale and ferocity of Ukrainian Resistance.
(2 of 4)
Russia has been forced to change its operational approach and is now pursuing a strategy of attrition.

(2/4) Logistical problems continue to beset Russia’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.

(1/3)

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.
