This article by George Barros and Noel Mikkelsen, writing for ISW, makes the following points:

- Russia’s increasing personnel shortages mean that Russia cannot secure its logistic support chain.
- Ukrainian military successes have degraded Russia’s ability to such an extent that, based on current information, future Russian offensive operations look unlikely.
