OUTGUNNED VS. UNDERMANNED: Like battered prize fighters staggering into the late rounds, both the Russian invaders and Ukrainian defenders have been worn down by the intense artillery duel that inflicted heavy casualties on both sides.
Russia has plenty of artillery but is running short of manpower, with Western estimates they may be losing hundreds of soldiers a day. Ukraine's casualties are thought to be equally high, though neither side releases numbers of battlefield deaths. Ukraine remains at a significant disadvantage when it comes to how many artillery shells and rockets it can launch in response to Russia’s withering fire.
“In continuously striking civilians in towns and cities across Ukraine, often far from any fighting, the Kremlin has shown it has one objective, and one objective only: attempt to gain through fear what it cannot achieve on the battlefield — the subjugation of Ukraine,” said U.S. Amb. Michael Carpenter in a speech in Vienna.
Citing statements from Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev, a close Putin confidant who indicated that the Kremlin does not consider recent battlefield gains sufficient, the ISW says its “ongoing assessment” is that Putin will continue to push for advances beyond Donetsk and Luhansk, and is preparing for “a protracted war with the intention of taking much larger portions of Ukraine.
