Currently, the Defence Forces at the front are concentrating on two key tasks: inflicting maximum losses on the occupiers and disrupting their offensive efforts.
This was reported by Oleksandr Musienko, a serviceman in the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ Territorial Defense Forces and a military expert. "At least the first major wave of the Russian spring offensive was thwarted, despite Russia’s deployment of reserves and forces. The situation is now under control. Commander-in-Chief Syrsky, among others, confirms this information. And, in principle, our defense is now stable," Musienko said.
At the same time, he added that the Russians are not abandoning their intentions in Ukraine and plan to increase pressure on the front, particularly in the Donetsk region and in the Aleksandrovsk area. "Therefore, the Defense Forces are also concentrating on preventing the enemy from attacking from the flanks. That is, preventing them from threatening the semi-encirclement or encirclement of our forces, as well as disrupting our logistics," Musienko added.
Analysts from the Institute for the Study of War previously reported that Russia captured less territory than it lost in April . According to their data, the enemy lost control of 116 square kilometers of Ukrainian territory.
The report attributes the shift to a combination of Ukrainian ground counterattacks, sustained medium-range strikes on logistics and command infrastructure, and disruptions to Russian communications systems.
ISW notes that Russian forces have faced growing coordination challenges. Restrictions on Telegram usage imposed by the Kremlin and the reported disruption of Starlink access for Russian units in temporarily occupied territories have weakened battlefield communication.
These issues have compounded existing structural weaknesses in the Russian military, making coordinated offensive operations more difficult.
The report also highlights environmental factors. A wetter and colder winter, followed by seasonal mud conditions, has limited the mobility of mechanized units. ISW states that such conditions traditionally slow operations in early spring, although Russian forces have previously attempted to resume offensive activity as terrain conditions improve in May.
Russian territorial gains have significantly decreased compared to the previous year. Between November 2025 and April 2026, Russian forces captured approximately 1,443 square kilometers, compared to 2,368 square kilometers during the same period a year earlier.
In the first four months of 2026, Russian advances averaged 2.9 square kilometers per day, down from 9.76 square kilometers per day in early 2025.
ISW also reports that Russian forces have increasingly relied on infiltration tactics—moving small units into contested “gray zones” without establishing firm control.
The institute states: “Russian forces use infiltration tactics in part to create the perception of continued Russian advances along the frontline and to support Kremlin cognitive warfare efforts aimed at exaggerating Russian successes.” ISW adds that these areas are often not under stable Russian control.
