You’d be inclined to agree with the description proffered by the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) that this was a “pyrrhic victory”.

Key Points: 
  • You’d be inclined to agree with the description proffered by the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) that this was a “pyrrhic victory”.
  • Meanwhile Ukrainian forces continue to launch counterattacks in the area – so Russia’s confidence could well prove to be misplaced.
  • And the battle has caused a great deal of friction between the regular army, the Wagner Group and some of the hardline Russian commentators.
  • While all this has been going on, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky, has been on a bit of a world tour.

Fighting on Russian soil

    • But analysts of this conflict have access to open-source intelligence that makes pinpointing where the fighting going on a great deal more accurate.
    • The fighting, in a number of small settlements in the Belgorod oblast close to the Ukraine border, appears to have involved a mix of pro-Ukraine Russian partisans and members of an anti-Putin neo-Nazi militia – although none of this has been fully confirmed.
