"Ukrainian forces are already trying to fight for the initiative on the battlefield in limited and local counterattacks at the tactical level - emphasizing that the current state of the position war along the front line is not stable for indefinitely," the report reads.

Analysts have specified that since the mid -May 2024, Ukrainian troops conducted tactically important and successful local counterattacks in the north of the Kharkiv region and in the Kreminna direction - on the border of Donetsk and Luhansk regions. "Russian troops are beginning to feel the pressure of Ukrainian counterattack, which emphasizes that the front line is not as static as Putin evaluated," - said in ISW.

At the same time, analysts emphasized that Ukraine's ability to carry out more powerful and organized counterattack depends on the constant military support of the event. "Current reports indicate that Ukraine will not be able to fully equip all new planned teams without receiving additional Western security assistance," the report reads.

The American Institute of War Study has explained that Russia is mainly relied on to modernize Soviet times to expand military capabilities, which in the medium and long term will create problems with the proper support of Russian operations in Ukraine.
