"The end is not visible": the Russian Federation has slight promotion at the cost of crazy losses in Ukraine - the media

The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continues to actively try to sell Ukrainian defense, literally exchanging territories for their soldiers. According to US officials, more than 600 thousand people are total losses of occupation troops. Occupational Russian troops continue their promotion in the east of Ukraine, but they pay a very frantic price for it, literally exchanging a soldier in the territory, and "this is not visible. " Politico writes about it.

Media has referred to officials in the United States, saying that in recent weeks Russia has achieved slow but stable success against Ukraine. At the same time, September became the bloodiest month in the Third War of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, and the total number of losses achieved wounded and killed in more than 600,000 people.

Journalists write that in the last few months the Russians have captured several key cities in eastern Ukraine, which the defense forces have been kept from "massive Russian offenses". One of the officials in the United States noted that Russian "tireless and bloody victories" are currently near Pokrovsk, which is the main transport hub for the advanced Ukrainian forces.

The loss of the city would be a serious blow to the Ukrainian forces who are fighting for hundreds of miles of the entire front line. At the same time, Russian offensive actions from the summer consisted of massive artillery attacks, which followed the great movements of the troops, which were raced to well -fixed Ukrainian positions. This has led to tens of thousands of losses, as the Moscow command seems to have decided to apply a strategy for the exchange of troops to land.

The media emphasizes that in general, Russia's achievements during this time have been the best from the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine. And it seems that Moscow is betting that its losses are acceptable, at least in the short term. Ukraine has sent troops to fill the gaps on its front lines, but continues to retreat during the summer, because it is unable to fully resist the constant Russian invasion.

At the same time, Western analysts were concerned about the fact that the Kursk operation of the Ukrainian forces was the reason for the lack of a certain number of units in the East. However, the US military official stated the media that according to analysts, Ukraine can continue fighting in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation for "months, before the Russians will be able to fully organize the answer.

" Journalists emphasize that Ukraine has been able to maintain operational forces in the war zone in Kurshchyna. At the same time, the Russians have a number of problems because of poor coordination and the nature of planning, which does not allow them to go on the offensive, the official said. "At present, nothing indicates that they [Russians] are ready to take serious steps to return Kursk, and I do not think they will be able to do it in the near future," the official official stated.

We will remind, on October 9 ISW in its report indicated that the offensive of the Russian Federation could be completed in the coming months. According to experts, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation exhausted many of those reserves that were accumulated for the offensive campaign in 2024. Later, Foreign Policy noted that the operation of the Armed Forces in the Kursk region could be the key to Ukraine to win.
