Russia has launched an offensive into the Kharkiv region, and it has created a lot of alarmist news reports. In reality it is difficult to see what Russia’s plan is, and it is not self-evident that it is a smart use of resources. In this video I discuss whether we might be seeing a return to the fragmented command structures that Russia had in the beginning of the war.

    The Russian army also generally doesn’t seem to have the training and capability to launch an effective large scale combined arms assault in a single region. That’s probably a must to break through, otherwise concentrating forces and attacking into artillery will only lead to extremely heavy casualties.
