Russia’s War against Ukraine
Weekly Reports from the Winter of 2023/2024
Deutsche Fassung
Abstract
Ukraine’s counteroffensive failed. Russia has launched attacks on all of the important sectors of the front. Ukraine is building up its defensive positions. On the ground, the battle of attrition continues, with both sides losing men and matériel without any prospect of substantial success. Russia and Ukraine want to exhaust their opponent in the air war in terms of morale and matériel. The arms race for drones and missiles is in full swing. Without an increase in Western support, Ukraine will lose it.
