In Ukraine and Russia, there are opportunities to establish deep defensive positions and reserves that would not allow strategic military goals through a separate campaign. About it writes "Institute of War" in the article "Assessment of the importance of current Russian and Ukrainian operations during the war.
" The ability of Russia and Ukraine to generate sufficient combat power to occupy continuous defensive positions without open flanks and create a tactical depth at important points along the front line, forces both parties to try to fight with penetration into the enemy territory. This is so expensive that further development of success is often impossible.
Ukraine, in fact, took advantage of the flank, which the Russians left open in the Kursk region, but in Russia enough combat capacity to cover their borders, if necessary - but will have to donate the achievements of other goals. The Russian Federation and Ukraine can usually set defense positions at some distance in the rear and sufficiently stabilize the front line, even in the event of success.
The effective plan of Ukrainian and Russian campaigns thus requires the prudentness and planning of several consecutive operations, during each of which the conditions for the next operation are created. However, rarely one of the parties could have conducted consecutive operations without interruption, as operational pauses or reducing the operational pace enabled the other side to take the initiative.
