The front line is stable. The Ukrainians are being repulsed. The assault wave tactics used by the AFU are noteworthy, including:

• artillery preparation,

• advance of multiple armored groups (7-8 vehicles plus infantry),

• attempts to approach Russian positions and clear trenches to exploitation, to prepare ground for approach of main forces which are meant to advance deep into Russian defenses

In practice, Russian artillery destroys enemy armored objects as soon as they fall within range. If the assault group manages to reach Russian strongholds, the uncompromising Russian infantry enters the battle. Otherwise, the remaining intact armor of the Ukrainians withdraws, replenishes ammunition, refuels and returns into battle.

These assault waves last from thirty minutes to several hours. The offensive has been ongoing for six days, and the front line is stable.

The Ukrainians advance in columns and repetitively along the same routes, because in addition to ruthless Russian artillery and aviation strikes, all approaches are heavily protected by minefields, which the Ukrainians are rightly afraid of.

Also noteworthy is the absolute disregard of Ukrainian commanders for human losses in their assault detachments.

The Russian defense, with its complete system of fires and kill zones built by Russian commanders, does not give the enemy a chance.

Add to that the patience of the Russian soldier. The ability to endure and stand at their positions to the end. He who does not fear for his own life, takes that of others.
