Russian troops are ramping up pressure on exhausted Ukrainian forces to prepare to seize more land this spring and summer using satellite-guided gliding bombs. Moscow's advantage in firepower and personnel poses a significant challenge to the Ukraine military.
Last summer's counteroffensive by Ukraine was doomed due to Russian minefields and superior artillery. Ukrainians were massacred, a mistake the Russians aim to avoid by sticking to smaller attacks that drain Ukraine military strength.
Ukrainian President ordered defensive constructions, but slow progress left many areas unprotected. Analysts point out that timely trench-digging could have prevented Ukrainian retreats and exposed vulnerabilities.
