Defense analyst Yan Matveev has revealed Ukraine’s brutal new tactical reality: for the past six months, they’ve been deliberately sacrificing armor to punch through Russian defenses.
“They knew many armored vehicles, tanks, and infantry fighting vehicles would have to be left on the battlefield,” Matveev explains. Far from battlefield failure, these losses represent cold strategic calculation.
Ukraine’s commanders have essentially accepted a blood price for forward progress—trading expensive Western-supplied equipment for territorial gains in a grinding war where traditional tactics have failed. Euromaidan Press summarized Matveev’s analysis, asking whether these new tactics are worth the cost and if they could ultimately help Ukraine secure a victory.
