Why Russia Remains Incapable Of Ukraine Advance Despite Material Advantages

Despite their reported superiority in troop strength and weaponry, the Russians have proved incapable - time and again - of making meaningful advances anywhere along the front line. 

The primary reason is that the Ukrainian forces remain better led, more coordinated in use of drones, infantry and artillery, and are better trained. The Russians continue to suffer from the poor quality of their soldiers and officers as well as the indifference to casualties of their high command. JL   

Militarnyi reports:

Ukrainian paratroopers of the 79th Air Assault Brigade destroyed Russian armored vehicles and infantry near Novomykhailivka in the Marinka, Donetsk region. This sector continues to be one of the hottest spots on the Russian-Ukrainian front. Russian assault operations take place almost every day. The Russians used MT-LB tracked tractors, which are used as armored personnel carriers to bring infantry to the front line. Ukrainian defenders used artillery and drones to shell the Russian convoy.
