Intelligence suggests that Russian forces are likely trying to restore momentum on the front line after a period of reduced shelling in the first months of the year.
Despite the relatively static front line, the number of Russian casualties in 2025 remains significantly higher than in the spring of 2024, when the daily number of casualties among Russian servicemen did not consistently exceed a thousand people.
