355 views Mar 24, 2022
During a month of military operations in Ukraine, the Russian Army took control of a significant part of the country and apparently completed the first stage of the operation. The strikes of the Russian Aerospace Forces and precision-guided missiles have caused devastating damage to the military infrastructure of Ukraine.

At the same time, assessments of the Russian successes vary. Some military analytical structures and experts say that the warring sides faced a stalemate. For its part, Ukrainian propaganda trumpets the Russian defeat. In fact, in 30 days of the war, the Russians took control of thousands of kilometers of Ukrainian territory. No AFU counterattack has brought success. The most combat-ready units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are either in full or in partial encirclement. Russian troops are stationed on the outskirts of the capital.

The most important area of hostilities on March 24 is the half-million coastal city in the south-east of the country, Mariupol, where the remnants of the encircled 14 thousandth group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to resist.
