Russia's summer push in Ukraine targets three fronts but faces stern resistance
Russia is facing stern resistance in its summer push in Ukraine, targeting three key fronts: Sumy region, Pokrovsk, and Kostyantynivka. Despite some territorial gains, Russian forces are encountering fierce opposition, hindering further advances. The goal seems to be creating a buffer zone to protect Russian territory, with a focus on strategically important areas like Pokrovsk. The tactics involve small group infantry attacks rather than massive assaults, with Ukraine countering with drones and asserting control in critical regions despite heavy casualties.
