 Russians shift to strategic defense after failure of winter offensive. The Russian occupiers, having failed the much-hyped winter offensive, are moving to strategic defense in Ukraine. Andrey Yusov, representative of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, said it. The enemy may conduct tactical operations and try to implement them. However, in general, the Russians are moving to strategic defense. The much-hyped big winter offensive is long over. Regular tasks have failed. The Russians currently have no reason to repeat the attempts we saw after the 24th of February last year. But this does not mean that the enemy is defeated or does not pose a threat to Ukraine. There is a large amount of manpower, mobilization potential and a significant amount of equipment. But the most combat-ready part of the Russian army has been destroyed in Ukraine. Vladimir Putin destroyed it by sending it to the meat grinder, he added. In this opinion, the Russians may conduct separate operations in southern Ukraine. At the same time, Donetsk Oblast remains the maniacal target of the occupiers. Yusov noted that the defense forces are preparing to liberate Ukrainian territory.
