Ukraine’s surprise cross-border incursion seen as a tactical reply to Russia’s grinding gains
KYIV, Ukraine — The Ukraine army’s surprise charge into Russia this week was a stunning maneuver that caught the Kremlin’s forces unawares.
But at points in the east, especially in the Donetsk region. Russia is making a concerted push. Its army is exploiting the dry land to move its armor, the bushy tree lines for infantry cover, and the clear skies to launch powerful glide bombs that obliterate Ukrainian defenses. Russian forces are now 10 miles from Pokrovsk, an important logistics hub that supports Ukrainian forces in the region, the U.K. Defense Ministry said Friday. Russia also continues to consolidate gains in Niu-York and is advancing toward Toretsk, the ministry said.
Kupchan, of the Council on Foreign Relations, isn’t expecting a major Russian breakthrough. Even if Russia can punch a hole in the line, “organizing a column that could advance deep behind Ukrainian lines is complicated” because of logistical and organizational demands that the military can’t satisfy.
The surprise incursion launched from Ukraine’s northeastern Sumy region appears to be a tactic that opens a new area of conflict and, significantly, on Russian soil. The United States and Western allies who supply Ukraine with weapons have said little so far about Ukraine’s incursion. It’s also having difficulty equipping new brigades, it lacks air defenses, and many of its front-line troops are exhausted, according to analysts.
