According to them, Russian generals have not changed their strategy and continue to send troops into frontal attacks. Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces have reportedly become more efficient in repelling and neutralizing these assaults.<\/p>\n

Impact on Moscow’s plans<\/h3>\n

Western sources estimate that this trend could affect the Kremlin’s ability to launch a major offensive in the coming months. Previous intelligence assessments from NATO countries indicated that Moscow was banking on the idea that the Russian army would continue to advance, and Ukraine’s defensive positions would gradually weaken.<\/p>\n

However, the reality on the ground seems more complicated.<\/p>\n

Recruitment declining, pressure increasing<\/h3>\n

Until recently, Russian authorities were able to recruit about 30\u201335 thousand soldiers per month. Now, however, according to the same sources, the pace of recruitment is slowing down.<\/p>\n

In the context of increasing losses, analysts and officials quoted by Bloomberg warn that the likelihood of a broader mobilization is increasing.<\/p>\n
