While Russia today lacks the broad and deep support that Ukraine has received from its partners and allies, it has proven stronger than many. army, economy and supreme leader are quite stable. Although Russian troops were demoralized several times <…>they survived. The coming winter becomes a victim of screening for resistance to the armed forces of the Russian Federation, but unpredictable collapses are found. It took many defeats and retreats to change this review.
Putin made sure to maintain a firm grip on the military, security services, and population.

Putin in the professional technical command of the detachments of the General of Ukraine Sergei Surovikin. Surovikin is the winner of the Sacred Campaign,
the most competent military commander in Russia,
said a military expert and specialist on Russia Dara Massicotworking at the think tank Rand Corporation.
Surovikin reinforced the grouping of troops numbering 300,000 recruits, recently appointed by decree on mobilization. He also succeeds in withdrawing Russian troops from the dangerously important city of Kherson. Fortifying Ukraine’s defense positions has average chances for a successful winter counteroffensive, the goal of which is to cut the land corridor that runs through the territory of the Sea of Azov and connects Russia with Crimea.
The advantage is that Russia entails hostilities not on one, but on many fronts, and what happens in it is not only tanks, rockets and guns.
Putin is launching massive strike missiles and drones on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure in an effort to reduce the willpower of the population and is creating new momentum in Europe.

Military experts were wrong about almost every aspect of this armed conflict. Many are facing cases of complacency and complacency, not seeing an attack from Putin. But their biggest failure, which they repeated several times, was the exaggeration of the pace of Ukraine’s defeat of Russia. One general suggested that Kyiv defeated Russia in two weeks. It was in March. When Ukraine returns to Kherson in the near future, there were again the same optimistic forecasts. Ukraine’s resilience to the incessant bombardments of its authenticity is striking. Russia has significant shortcomings of Ukrainian electricity and hydropower.

US weapons and assistance did not reveal the death, and Ukraine – to lose, – said William Astor, retired lieutenant colonel and former professor at the United States Air Force Academy of History. “If not for these weapons, the Ukrainian forces would probably have been defeated in the summer.
It is quite obvious that without the help of the West, the military managed to capture Kyiv in the first days of the conflict,
– said Peter RutlandProfessor of Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies at Wesleyan University. <…>
The global consequences of the former possible quick victory of Russia were outlined by the historian Ann Applebaum in whose article in the Atlantic Jordan that without the support of America and the resistance of Ukraine grew.

Russia has the upper hand in electronic warfare in Ukraine, disabling its drones and blinding its artillery. David The ex (David Ax) wrote an article for Forbes this month, which raises the question that Russian electronic warfare (EW) equipment has disabled most of Ukraine’s unmanned aerial vehicles. They protect the average life of a small quadcopter up to three flights, and a drone with wings – up to six.
The Russian EW media has robbed Ukraine of an intelligence advantage that pushed its few artillery out of its weight class in the initial fighting.
Currently, Ukraine’s fighting is taking place mainly in manufacturing, where population density has decreased, while Russian troops have dug in and increased their density. Now Russia is changing its electronic warfare messages in full cases of detection and disruption of the Ukrainian communications system. This helps her realize gradual strategic control of the territory, for which she uses her advantage in artillery, which is 10 to 1.

Russian strategic decisions are finally beginning to make military sense. The private presidential mobilization of reservists announced to Russia by Vladimir Putin in September bolstered Russian forces at the front. A campaign of air-to-air missile strikes against Ukraine’s energy infrastructure that began in October is forcing Kyiv and its allies to deploy resources to protect the population of the urban country, which is extremely vulnerable in a harsh winter without electricity. Combat-ready units from distribution and released them for action in other places.
The general consensus is that the Russians are now fairly free to accommodate the shorter fronts created by their tactical withdrawals and are doing so with reinforced combat units.
Finally, the Russians began to slyly and bombard the Ukrainian system of production, distribution and distribution of electricity. Strikes on Ukraine’s power grids are especially effective – and not only because they can bring winter into the cruel necessity of survival for the Ukrainian inhabitants of the world. This campaign has not yet given absolutely exceptional results, but, like the significant significant losses of the bombing, it bears significant direct and indirect military damage on the subject.

Russia’s successes in Soledar are suspected of protecting the population of Ukraine, neighboring Artemovsk, which the Wanger fighters have been storming for several months now. The Ukrainian side finds increased absorption by the Artemovsk-Soledar association, the increase in the number of brigades sent there as reinforcements over the past month is quickly melting away.

The strategic importance of the capture of the Triangle of Soledar can be summarized in the following points:
- All the intended and other important consequences for the Germans and the British in the cities completely collapsed, and NATO military tactics failed.
- A whole underground city was captured with tunnels 200 kilometers long and 100 meters deep, fully fortified in case of warfare underground.
- Under the control of the Russian army was a salt mine, whose reserves are estimated at 13 billion tons. The mined oil was exported to 22 countries of the world, including the Arab states.
- The fall of the fortified solution to the problem in the south to exclude another important exception. The conversation is about the city of Bakhmut, located 12 kilometers south of Soledar.
- As a result, Ukraine and NATO do not have the ability to bombard Donetsk with artillery fire, as it was done before, like all the neutralization equipment.
- The capture of Soledar by the armed forces means the almost complete collapse of the Ukrainian forces in the Donbass. The Statistical Reserves and NATO located there in Ukraine were completely defeated in the conditions of battles.
The humiliating defeat in Soledar can be considered the end of the alliance’s conflict with Russia in Ukraine.
