Russian forces continue to ramp up their offensive operations along the front line despite the material and personnel losses, the Institute for the Study of War's (ISW) report said on April 7.

Experts at the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) have concluded that Russian troops are fast-tracking offensive operations across the entire war zone in Ukraine while "mitigating likely increased manpower and materiel losses".

Massive Russian strikes on energy and Ukrainian cities are part of Russia’s campaign to prepare for a major summer offensive, Ukrainian President’s Chief-of-Staff, Andriy Yermak, said in an interview with Politico on April 4.

The Institute for the Study of War reported that since the start of offensive operations in October 2023, Russian troops have seized 505 square kilometres of Ukraine's territory. Source: Institute for the Study of War (ISW) Details: From 1 January till 28 March this year, Russian troops seized almost 100 square kilometres more than they did in the last three months of 2023.

US analysts have assessed that the Russian army is continuing its offensive around Avdiivka to deprive Ukrainian forces of a respite that would allow the Defence Forces to create a stronger defence line in the immediate vicinity of Avdiivka.

"Russian forces have regained the theater-wide initiative and will be able to pursue offensive operations when and where they choose as long as they hold the initiative," the ISW said.

The Institute for the Study of War believes that Russian troops have regained the initiative in the entire theatre of operations and will be able to conduct offensive operations whenever and wherever they want as long as they hold the initiative.

The situation in Avdiivka is very complex; the Russians are actively conducting offensive operations both during the day and at night. Source: Maksym Zhorin, Deputy Commander of the 3rd Assault Brigade, on Telegram Quote: "The situation near Avdiivka is very challenging.

Russia has been generating new forces at a rate roughly equivalent to its current casualties, but it is unclear whether it will be able to sustain offensive operations in the same way at a higher operational level with even greater losses.
