Six months of war: Ukraine regains initiative, but makes no push

Al Jazeera  

Western allies provided Ukraine enough assistance to deprive Russia of victory but not to defeat it, so the two countries are likely to be locked in a lengthy war. After six months of war, Russia has failed to overrun Ukraine, install a puppet government in Kyiv, or even fully conquer the Luhansk and Donetsk oblasts in the east – its pared-back goal. On April 18 Russia’s eastern offensive began in earnest, and during May and June, Ukraine’s worst months, Russia succeeded in capturing the northwestern corner of Luhansk it did not already control, and settlements in Donetsk. The arrival in Ukraine of high-precision rocket artillery systems with a range of 80km on June 23 disrupted Russia’s war of attrition in the east. Whereas even if they retake Kherson, this is just the first in many steps required to fully defeat Russia.” To keep the West on side and avoid a nuclear attack, “Ukraine may be attempting to inflict ‘death by a thousand cuts’ on Russian forces,” said Puri.
