And now the Ukrainian army reportedly is exploiting those gaps, especially around Sloviansk and Izium. Hitting the Russians where they aren’t. It’s an open question, however, whether the Ukrainian army has the resources to sustain this momentum.

But that momentum might not last if Ukraine can’t muster the combat power to press its advantages—and defeat the Russians where the Russians are weakest.
