Ukrainian media reports say the commander responsible for the defence of the northeastern Kharkiv front, General Yuriy Halushkin, has been replaced by General Mykhaylo Drapatiy. And possible corruption will also cause this happens in any army. For the "if" Russia needs 3 times as many personnel with its equipment to take Ukraine for the whole Kharkiv oblast they would need over, 100000 with its equipment that does Russia not have and will not get they also have problems with recruiting personnel and their production is more refurbish/repair hardly any new equipment rolls on the plains of Ukraine.
The Russian military began 2023 with a highly disorganised force in Ukraine, comprising approximately 360,000 troops. By the beginning of the Ukrainian offensive in June 2023, this had risen to 410,000 troops and was becoming more organised. Over the summer of 2023, Russia established training regiments along the border and in the occupied territories and, following the mutiny of Wagner forces, endeavoured to standardise its units, breaking down the previous trend towards private armies. By the beginning of 2024, the Russian Operational Group of Forces in the occupied territories comprised 470,000 troops. With this army they only gained a couple of hundreds of square kilometres' terrain I do not see them gain more terrain. These coming months will be hard for Ukraine but if they can hold this is the last Russian big offensive for a very long time.
