According to analysts, the forces of Ukraine's defense continue pressure on the critical areas of the front. The occupiers will have to decide whether to preserve the forces to protect certain areas of the front, or to relocate them for offensive operations. Russian troops try to seize the initiative at the front, and therefore conduct several offensive operations in the East at the same time. This opinion was expressed by analysts at the American Institute for the Study of War.

The report of November 14 states that it is unclear whether the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will be able to fully seize the initiative, since the forces of Ukraine's defense continue pressure in the critical sections of the front. It is noted that according to several officials of Ukraine, the situation on the front remains difficult, but the Armed Forces retain control of "combat space".

"The statements of Ukrainian officials regarding the current rates of operations of the Russian Front are agreed with the ISW assessment of the continuing Russian offensive, in particular, in Kupyansk, Bakhmut and Avdiivsky directions," the report reads. ISW also stated that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will probably be very difficult to take the initiative.

Analysts said the command of the invaders' troops would have to decide whether to preserve the forces to protect certain areas of the front, or to relocate them for offensive operations. To prevent them from choosing, as it is expected, it will prevent the Russian Federation from intercepting the initiative in the next weeks.
