‘Most consequential’ days of Ukraine War just occurred and ‘collapse’ of Putin’s forces ‘doesn’t seem a long way away,’ says military expert

Russia's defense ministry said a troop withdrawal from two areas in Ukranian was a regrouping. A military expert said it was a resounding victory.

The last few days seem to have been the most consequential of the war. The collapse of the Russian armed forces in Ukraine doesn't seem far away after what we've seen over the last 72 hours.

The counteroffensive by Ukrainian forces led to the Russian troop withdrawal from the eastern Kharkiv region.

Martin is a former British army officer who served multiple tours in Afghanistan as a political officer. The Ukrainians have just fought a great battle.

The Institute for the Study of War wrote on Thursday thatUkrainian successes on the Kharkiv City-Izyum line are creating fissures within the Russian information space.

According to the Associated Press, the move was made to achieve the stated goals of the special military operation. Earlier this year, Russia failed to capture the capital of Ukraine.

The British defense ministry said Russian forces were probably taken by surprise. The capture of the town of Kupiansk would be a blow to Russia because it sits on a supply route to the front line.

The significance of the counteroffensive was noted by Martin. The Russians will not be able to conduct offensive operations in the Donbas until they reconfigure their logistics.

There are signs of waning support for Russia President Putin. Municipal deputies in a Moscow district called on Putin to resign because they said he had taken Russia back to the Cold War era.

Lawmakers in St.Petersburg demanded that Putin be charged with high treason for invading Ukraine. They were summoned to a police station and charged with defaming the armed forces.
