Russia's overwhelming attack leaves Ukraine with no chance to "breathe"

The situation on the Russia-Ukraine battlefield is becoming increasingly complicated. The Russian army has begun a fierce summer offensive, while US President Donald Trump has suddenly intervened, pushing for a ceasefire, making the situation even more complicated. Photo: Top War

Looking back at the situation on the battlefield, the Russian army seems to have “pressed the accelerator button”, focusing its efforts on two major battles – the siege of Pokrovsk and Konstantinivka. Photo: Reuters

The scale and ferocity of these two battles are said to be no less than the previous battle of Bakhmut. Currently, the Russian army is carrying out alternating breakthroughs between the two cities, aiming to take advantage of the existing advantage to "gnaw" at these two stubborn targets with the lowest losses, completely not giving the Ukrainian army a chance to breathe.

According to the latest war reports, the Russians have firmly taken control of Novopoltavka and are rapidly advancing southward toward the suburbs of Popiv Yar. With the current momentum of the offensive, the Russian objective is clear: to advance along the Popiv Yar – Rusyn Yar line, directly west of Konstantinivka. Photo: Google Maps

Once Rusyn Yar is captured, the Ukrainian army’s supply line in Konstantinivka will be within range of Russian drones. If the Russians continue to control a few more settlements in the west, the city will be surrounded on three sides and its supplies will be cut off. At that time, the Ukrainian army will likely be forced to abandon the city and retreat. Photo: TASS

In the Pokrovsk region, Russian troops attacked simultaneously from both the east and west. The fighting in the east was fierce, while the west was no less fierce as the Russian troops continuously expanded their control from Uspenivka to the west. Once Udachne was captured, the plan to encircle Pokrovsk from the west would be restarted. Photo: Google Maps

Notably, Ukrainian forces recently discovered the presence of Iranian mercenaries in Russian combat formations. A video circulating on social media shows an Iranian soldier communicating in Russian with a strong Persian accent, leaving his Russian comrades confused because they could not understand.

Eventually, the soldier was forced to switch to Persian to complain that he had a leg injury and could not continue fighting. The incident shows that language barriers are significantly affecting the ability to coordinate operations on the battlefield. Illustrative photo

Ukraine also recently had a "big news": Lieutenant Colonel Shevchuk, commander of the 59th Unmanned Systems Assault Brigade, was dismissed. According to the official statement, he was dismissed due to losing too many troops during the defense of Pokrovsk. Photo: TASS

However, Mr. Shevchuk himself has pleaded not guilty, claiming that he was forced to order a retreat to save the lives of his soldiers when his unit was about to be surrounded – and ended up becoming a “scapegoat” for the defeat on the battlefield. Photo: Suspilne

On the ground, Ukrainian forces are facing a severe shortage of manpower, causing continuous gaps in their defense lines. In this context, Kiev is forced to rely on drones and artillery fire to temporarily fill the gaps. Photo: TASS

However, the Russian army is taking full advantage of these weaknesses, constantly organizing attacks on vulnerable areas. Facing the risk of being surrounded, the Ukrainian army has been forced to retreat many times to preserve its forces. However, in the event of a breach of the defense line, the retreating units often become the subject of criticism and discipline, clearly reflecting the increasing pressure and conflicts within Ukraine.

The battle is currently taking place with the overwhelming advantage in favor of Russia, as the country's army continuously takes advantage of its advantage to launch a series of attacks. Meanwhile, the US and Europe are constantly stirring up the situation from behind, combined with internal conflicts between the parties, making the battlefield situation increasingly chaotic.
