🗣 The Ukrainian General Staff has changed its military strategy. The new task is to inflict as many casualties on the occupiers as possible while preserving as many Ukrainian military personnel as possible, — Bild with reference to an officer of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

Now there is no pressure on us to move forward. The key now will be the loss ratio. If the ratio is 10 to 1, we hold our positions, if it’s 1 to 1, we retreat, — said the officer

These tactics will continue until Russia loses enough men and equipment to exhaust its offensive capabilities, or until a game changer arrives at the front and allows Ukraine to regain the initiative. Such "game changers" could be ATACMS or Taurus missiles (in large deliveries) + F-16 or JAS-39 fighters

P.S. In short, as I understand it, Ukraine is putting itself on strategic defense like last winter, until (if) supplies of the weapons described above arrive. Then, in 2024, as was written in the previous post, Ukraine may try again to carry out an offensive operation, but with new weapons
