According to his assessment, the situation on the eastern front is “critical and continues to deteriorate,” and Russia is managing to advance faster than in the summer of 2022.
“The Ukrainian soldiers I speak to can barely comprehend the catastrophe that is unfolding. Territory is sometimes being lost so quickly it is as if a retreat order had been given. They also consider the rotations that have already been carried out and planned to be dangerous for holding the front,” writes Repke.
He noted that, in addition to the Donetsk region, for the first time in almost two years, Russian troops are again advancing in the Luhansk region and in the east of Kharkiv.
Among the reasons for this situation, he cites, in particular, the stretched-out Ukrainian troops due to the offensive near Kursk. According to Repke, the “moral lift” from this operation among the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Donbas is no longer felt.
