Last week Russian and Ukrainian forces waged an average of one to two hundred tactical engagements per day, a slower operational tempo than in recent weeks. Still, increased aerial attacks from the Russian Aerospace Forces tested Ukraine’s defenses. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that the increase in Russian air activity could presage even larger salvos in the coming weeks. Amid harsh winter conditions, Ukraine struggled to repair its energy infrastructure and electrical grid to contend with Russia’s onslaught.
The front lines remained dangerous but largely static. Both Russian and Ukrainian drone warfare formations deployed low-cost robotic weapons 60 to 80 miles behind lines of contact, attacking tactical depth. As this report has previously noted, the Russian military’s specialized Rubicon drone unit is ramping up the operational tempo of its long-range strikes.
