Thanks to the middle struts in 2026 ЗСУ de-occupied more than 2023, - Bachinsky
In 2026, the Ukrainian Defense Forces were able to return more territories than in 2023, and in September Ukrainian troops began to attack more actively than the Russian ones. One of the factors that influenced the situation on the front were strikes on Russian logistics at medium distance - midstreams
This was stated by the military observer, editor-in-chief of the site Espreso.TV Богдан Бачинський in the project "Східний щит" on Espreso.
ЗСУ began to attack more actively than the Russians
According to Богдана Бачинського, during the summer, Ukrainian and Russian troops almost equaled the intensity of offensive actions, but in September the situation changed in favor of the Ukrainian Defense Forces.
"Є така статистика, яку веде Генеральний штаб, вона вказує на те, що в рамках цієї літньої кампанії ми зрівнялися із наступальними діями ворога. Десь із червня до серпня росіяни наступали приблизно 55%, а ЗСУ - приблизно 45%, у вересні тенденція різко змінилася і ЗСУ отримали перевагу", said the military observer.
He stressed that the Ukrainian troops not only deter Russian attacks, but also have the opportunity to act more actively on different parts of the front.
"Якщо не говорити про цифри, то Збройні сили України почали наступати більше, ніж росіяни. Це в першу чергу. У другу чергу у нас з'явилася можливість повернути маневрову війну на фронт",
The Middle Strikes affect the situation at the front
One of the factors changing the situation at the front was the blows of Ukrainian forces on Russian logistics. They complicate the supply of troops and create additional opportunities for the actions of the Defense Forces.
At the same time, Богдан Бачинський links the current results not only with strikes on logistics, but also with a change in approaches to planning and conducting offensive operations.
According to him, Ukraine managed to maintain information silence around the offensive campaign, which made it difficult for the Russian command to understand the real situation on certain areas of the front.
Ukrainian troops gradually stop the Russian offensive
Богдан Бачинський also drew attention to the situation in the Slavic and Kramatorsk directions. According to him, Russian troops tried to advance to these cities during the year, but now the Defense Forces are gradually stopping their offensive actions.
"Якщо весь рік росіяни наступали на Слов'янськ, Краматорськ, повільно, але весь рік наступали і мали певні просування, то вже зараз ми бачимо, що Сили оборони поступово обламують їм оці кінці, оці такі вістря їхнього наступу, чого не було насправді доволі давно, ще від зими, коли росіяни окупували Сіверськ", said the military observer.
He added that the Ukrainian troops have already tested new tactics, in particular in the Kupyan and Konstantin directions. Now this experience is gradually applied in other areas of the front.
