Russia is launching probing attacks against Ukrainian forces along the front line, taking advantage of recent battlefield victories and Ukraine's shortage of ammunition and personnel. Ukrainian troops are responding by digging trenches and fortifying their positions, replicating the physical obstacles that Russia created on its side of the front. However, Ukraine's campaign to build fortifications has not yielded significant results, and the absence of progress is proving to be a liability as Russia intensifies its assaults. Russia is pushing along multiple axes in Ukraine's east, aiming to wear down Ukrainian forces and exhaust their manpower reserves. While Russia has more men and resources, it struggles to focus them and relies on poorly prepared soldiers, resulting in high casualties. Ukraine is also facing manpower problems and struggles to mobilize troops. Russia is adding around 30,000 men to its armed forces each month, but it is also losing men at a rapid pace. The capture of Avdiivka came at a high cost for Russia, with thousands of casualties and the loss of heavy armor. Despite the losses, Russia has the forces to continue its advance.
