Russia to defend in depth, sacrifice troops, reinforce Crimea
Meanwhile, RU will defend in depth from prepared positions, willingly sacrifice soldiers, reorient artillery from civilians to UA troops, use EW to thwart drones, use reconnaissance tools to thwart penetration. And, they will reinforce Crimea. 15/

Russia aims to freeze conflict; Ukraine seeks to reclaim sovereign land.
Bottom line:
Russia will try & hold as much land as possible, adding to "frozen conflict" they have in Europe (Transnistria, Abkahzia/S. Ossetia & Nagorno-Karabakh)…and then perhaps Putin sues for peace. Ukraine will try to regain as much of their sovereign lands. 16/ -
Ukraine’s army strategy: terrain and force orientation in offensive missions
In the offense, UA's army will be both terrain (regaining lost ground) & force (killing Russians) oriented, depending on *where* they strike. They will need to execute very tough offensive missions, coordinate with territorial & SOF forces to target key locations/forces…13/

Retake lost territory, cause chaos in Russian rear areas, maintain supply lines
…retake & secure lost territory, penetrate & cause chaos & destruction in Russian security zones & rear areas, WHILE ALSO keeping nascent supply lines for new types of equipment secure & operational. Really tough tasks for a force that's already been fighting a year+. 14/

Russia builds Dnieper defenses, Ukraine must breach after crossing
As stated earlier, RU has been building defenses on the eastern bank of the Dnieper R. since November. This @ISW doesn't show the details, but I would suspect they are formidable. UA has to breach those AFTER a river crossing operations. 12/

Ukraine’s military faces tough large-scale missions despite combat savvy
It will be unpopular to say this, but I will:
The UA is good & is combat savvy. But like RU at the beginning of the war, they're not 10 feet tall. They must now execute large scale missions: Deliberate attacks & combined arms breaches. Very tough! 10/ https://
