Personal opinion: it is quite possible that #Russia will use the next six months of the year to counter the threat posed by the drones deployed by #Ukraine. In doing so, it will sacrifice the pace of advances expected in 2024–2025. Does this mean the front line will not move? No. 2026 will see three major urban battles – Kostiantynivka, #Kupiansk and Lyman – and the front line advancing to the outskirts of Sloviansk and #Kramatorsk. It will also see the buffer zone in #Sumy and #Kharkiv expand.
