Руслан Левиев: Застрявшая война | Набор резервистов | Летняя кампания (English subtitles)

In this analytical video, Ruslan Leviev discusses the stalled nature of the war on the front line, noting that Russian advances have slowed to near-zero levels. He argues that the conflict is transitioning from a ground-based war of maneuver to a 'long-range' war, characterized by increased air strikes and the use of drones by both sides. Leviev highlights that while Russian ground operations have effectively 'stuck' in areas like the Donetsk region, they have pivoted to more high-impact, media-effective strikes in Crimea and other rear areas. Additionally, he points to questionable practices in military recruitment, such as the 'Bars' reserve unit, which appear to circumvent standard conscription laws. The analysis concludes that the war's dynamic is changing, with both sides intensifying their long-range capabilities despite the persistent, high human cost of the conflict.
