"The Russian rout, in the North, but also in the South can lead to a debacle" explains our military expert, former General Dominique Trinquand.
"Victory brings victory" adds this specialist in military strategy.
“There is a psychological training phenomenon where the Ukrainians realize that the Russians are not invincible”.
This is how several cities were retaken, thousands of square kilometers conquered, and the Russian army has never been in so much trouble since the beginning of the conflict...
Ukraine has resolutely regained the initiative and benefits from a military dynamic in the face of which Moscow's response today is unpredictable.
Volodymyr Zelensky's army announced on Monday that the counter-offensive led in the East and in the South had, on the whole of the front line, "succeeded in driving out the enemy from more than 20 localities" in 24 hours.
While affirming that "the Russian troops abandon their positions hastily and flee".
Mobile, made up of small autonomous units, galvanized by its patriotism, the Ukrainian army jostles Russian troops with an exaggeratedly pyramidal hierarchy, with a staff described as disconnected from the field.
Driven back, the forces of Vladimir Putin left the region of Kharkiv and Izium (north), fundamental for their logistics, in order to strengthen the southern front.
But they failed.
