Maryinka is a strategic point in eastern Ukraine that controls an important road to Rostov-on-Don. However, the recent lack of resistance of the Ukrainian army in the region, with an average age of up to 54 years, allowed the Russian army to occupy Maryinka. This strategic victory allowed the Russian army to launch a full-scale offensive around Maryinka, further changing the game pattern in the northern theater of operations in the Donbass.
The Ukrainian army has built a defensive zone on the Chasov Yar Heights, trying to pose a threat to **Muth. However, the Russian army launched an offensive in four directions: west of **mut, northwest of Ivanivsk, north of Berkhivka and Bodanivka, and northwest of Chasov Yar, and the Ukrainian army was forced to retreat south from its positions along the O-0506 highway. All the ** achievements of the Ukrainian army in the **mutt direction were ruined in one fell swoop. Due to the weakness of the Ukrainian army's fortifications and the lack of sufficient ammunition**, the Russian army easily broke through the positions of the Ukrainian army and launched a "clean-up operation" against the Ukrainian army.
1.Lifting the threat of the Ukrainian army to Mutter: Mutter is an important town in eastern Ukraine that controls the road to Rostov-on-Don. After the Russian army occupied Maryinka, the defense line of the Ukrainian army in the **mut area formed a north-south flank trend, threatening the stability of the Russian army in the region. Therefore, removing the threat posed by the Ukrainian army to **Mut has become a consideration for the Russian army.
2.Laying the foundation for the next military operation of the Russian army: **The Mut region is located on the line of Klishchivka-Ivanivsk-Bohdanivka, and is the only way for the Russian army to advance westward. By occupying **Mutter and the surrounding area, the Russian army can lay the groundwork for the next military operation.
3.Draining the living forces of the Ukrainian army in the Northern Donbass: The Ukrainian army has invested a lot of elite forces in the **Mut direction, and after half a year of fighting, the Ukrainian army has lost a large number of soldiers, and the average age of the soldiers has reached 54 years old. If the Russian army continues to launch a strong offensive in the **mut area, it will further deplete the living forces of the Ukrainian army and weaken the combat effectiveness of the Ukrainian army.
The Ukrainian army is facing a grim situation, with a possible lack of mobilization capacity, insufficient equipment and ammunition**, and limited command and coordination capabilities, which are among the reasons for the low combat effectiveness of the Ukrainian army. In addition, the Ukrainian army is facing powerful firepower from the Russian army, which makes its fortifications and positions vulnerable to destruction. The Ukrainian army is also facing a continuous reduction in personnel and materials, coupled with low morale, which has seriously weakened its ability to confront the Russian army.
In addition, the challenges facing the Ukrainian army include the strikes of information warfare and psychological warfare. The Russian army attaches great importance to the use of information warfare and psychological warfare in the war, and through propaganda and infiltration, it interferes with and disintegrates the Ukrainian army, weakening its morale and combat effectiveness.
In the face of these dilemmas and challenges, the Ukrainian army needs to strengthen its organizational and command capabilities, improve equipment and ammunition**, strengthen soldier training and morale building, and at the same time strengthen cooperation with the international community to seek more military assistance to improve its combat effectiveness and resistance capabilities.
