The ongoing counteroffensive by Ukraine has put significant pressure on Russian military formations. The 58th Combined Arms Army is defending heavily fortified positions in Zaporizhzhia Oblast. The 5th Combined Arms Army and Naval Infantry are engaged at the front near Velyka Novosilka. Airborne regiments stationed in western Russia are the primary defense in the Bakhmut region. Russia’s willingness to accept risks across Eurasia underscores how the war has disrupted its established national strategy. Russian missiles struck civilian targets in Lviv, despite successful neutralization of most missiles. Belarusian President Lukashenko suggests that the agreement between Wagner Group financier Yevgeny Prigozhin and President Putin may be failing. Ukrainian forces continue to degrade Russian manpower and logistics assets. Efforts include diplomatic actions, territorial defense units, reports of religious persecution by Russian forces in occupied Ukraine, and potential nuclear weapons transfers from Russia to Belarus.
