According to military expert Ivan Tymochko, the peak of the Russian invaders' battlefield capabilities has finally begun to wane. He also explained what factors indicate this.
Points of attention
- Ukrainian Defense Forces are counterattacking on 25% of the front line, indicating a potential shift in the military dynamics.
- Geopolitical factors, such as European and US pressure on Russia and China's support for Ukraine's territorial integrity, are putting additional strain on the Russian army.
What is known about the state of the Russian army?

Ivan Tymochko drew attention to the recent statement of Commander-in-Chief Syrsky
What is important to understand is that the Ukrainian Defense Forces are already counterattacking on 25% of the front line.
"I absolutely agree with the thesis that the Russian army is already at the maximum of its capabilities. The peak of its capabilities has begun to decline," the expert emphasized.
According to him, it may not be so obvious now, but the Russian army is currently:
cannot compensate for losses due to hidden mobilization contracts;
to make a technological breakthrough;
Europe and the US are demonstrating their willingness to increase pressure on Russia;
China has stated that it supports the territorial integrity of Ukraine.
Russia will be pulled one way or another. In addition to the front in Ukraine, they will also have quite serious political battles, where they did not expect.
