As of August 12, Russian suicide assault units continued to attack and reportedly reached 30-40 kilometers deep into the rear of the Ukrainian armed forces, and may have even reached 50-60 kilometers. The Russian rear forces need to quickly follow up to expand the gains. It would be great if the Russian forces could make a big encirclement from behind. This wave of Russian suicide assault operations seems to be an action that has been planned for a long time by the Russian military. The silence and secrecy on the front line are much better than many previous operations, so most of the current progress of the Russian suicide assault units is first reported by Ukraine. The only uncertainty now is where the final goal of this offensive is set. Have the Russians deployed all 110,000 troops they prepared? Russia's armed forces increased to 2.39 million last year, of which 1.5 million are military personnel. Now, the Russian forces on the front lines may not even reach half of 1.5 million. In addition, with the normal spring and autumn conscription in Russia, there are still many personnel available for deployment. Currently, the Russian forces are launching full-scale attacks on four main directions: Kupiansk, Bakhmut, Kupiansk, and Komsomolsk, and they are very coordinated, it's definitely not a combination of feints and main attacks. The current main target of the Russian forces is Komsomolsk. The overall goal of the Russian forces is to draw a huge encirclement, aiming to eliminate all Ukrainian armed forces from Izyum to Slavyansk! If the Russian forces can advance so quickly, it shows that the Ukrainian forces have already collapsed. If these key fortresses are captured this year, the rest will be flat terrain. Zelenskyy also knows there is no chance left, and he will agree to Russia's conditions, and the war should be ending soon.
