Ukrainian current counteroffensive operations are likely setting more favorable conditions for larger significant operations – ISW  

The Ukrainian current counteroffensive operations are likely setting more favorable conditions for larger significant operations, the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) said, Report informs.

“It is premature to make assessments about the overall success of ongoing Ukrainian counteroffensive operations occurring along several lines of advance toward several different apparent objectives. The Ukrainian counteroffensive will be a protracted, non-linear series of operations, which will likely continue to occur in phases of differing tempos. The US intelligence community has assessed that Ukraine’s counteroffensive will fail to reach Melitopol in western Zaporizhzhia Oblast and will not achieve its principal objective of severing the Russian land bridge to Crimea,” the ISW reported.
