Russian forces slow offensive pace

Russian armed forces are making barely any forward progress on the Ukrainian theater of operations, according to The New York Times. The pace of Vladimir Putin's troops' offensive has slowed significantly compared to earlier periods of the war.

According to the publication, the Russian military is experiencing difficulties maintaining the initiative on the battlefield. Ukrainian forces are mounting fierce resistance, which is leading to a reduction in the speed of offensive operations.

This stalemate reflects the current state of the conflict, which has been ongoing for more than two years. Experts point to resource exhaustion and mounting casualties as factors affecting the combat capability of the Russian military. The situation on the front remains tense, with wave-like offensives and counteroffensives.
