The Russian Federation attacks Ukraine in a new way: the ISW explained how it will help the enemy during a new offensive
"Increasing the Russian mechanized attack is generally at the same time as the intensification of rocket and unmanned blows on Ukrainian energy sites," the message reads. Analysts noted that the Russians strengthened their shock campaign in Ukraine, starting to apply a new tactic - attacks on hydroelectric power plants in March. The Russian military can strengthen their attacks for further pressure on the Armed Forces Command in order to transfer air defense systems away from the front.
The ISW stressed that this could protect Russian aviation operations while maintaining a ground offensive. According to the Ukrainian military observer Konstantin Mashovets, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation began to move their material means and personnel to the leading positions gradually and in small steps, as a result, this complicates the Armed Forces of Ukraine to control the accumulation of Russian troops.
Analysts are convinced that this indicates that the opponent was preparing for more large -scale assault operations. On April 3, US Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell noted that in the last few months the Russian Federation "almost completely restored the military structure. " In his view, the Russian Federation is prepared and can already have enough personnel and military equipment to increase the intensity of the offensive or the beginning of the offensive operation in new areas.
We will remind, on April 3 in the media reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin was ready for war for exhaustion. To do this, he uses all the resources he has. According to journalists, Putin wants to subordinate all Ukraine. On the same day, the chief of staff of the artillery of the 4th Brigade "Rubiz" Denis Nagorny stated that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation concentrated their efforts on the time ravine after Avdiivka of Donetsk region.
