The big news last week (June 7-12) was the Ukrainian middle-strike campaign – which was already pretty punishing – gained momentum, especially in Crimea. The Ukrainian intent to degrade logistics to and from Crimea is now obvious. What they plan to do when they reach that objective, we’ll see. But that it is Ukraine with the initiative and not Russia, in that slice of the war, believe it. The question is whether the Ukrainians can sustain the pace of attacks, and that is, how many drones are available now and how many for the rest of the summer. To a lesser extent, it’s a question of how many drone teams/pilots the Ukrainians can field. So far, the answers to that look like “yes,” but no promise.JOIN US ON TELEGRAMFollow our coverage of the war on the @Kyivpost_official. 10th Mountain Brigade, Strizh drone preps for flight, Wednesday (Image source in watermark) Mobile anti-Shahed group, Tuesday (Image per watermark) On the fighting line, the Russians appear to have made progress in their bid to take over Kostiantynivka, while the Ukrainians are advancing in the Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhia regions.
