Interesting. The thinking seems to be that the UAF may have bitten off more than it can chew, and that while it has improved significantly, particularly in terms of quantity, qualitative reforms have been difficult to enact. Certainly the UAF is now experienced in terms of trench and low-level warfare, but can it withstand another encirclement by regular Russian forces as was the case at Ilovaisk and Debaltsevo? Any sources (English please)?

What are your thoughts on my earlier comment that the UAF has been engaging in a "creeping offensive" since mid-December in order to break the stalemate?
