Ucraina

Il comandante in capo generale ucraino Valerii Zaluzhnyy ha presentato una strategia globale per cogliere l’iniziativa a livello di teatro in Ucraina e mantenerla per facilitare le vittorie ucraine sul campo di battaglia nonostante i vantaggi numerici della Russia in termini di manodopera e materiale. La strategia di Zaluzhnyy mira a compensare le sfide esistenti dell’Ucraina e perseguire vantaggi rispetto all’esercito russo attraverso una diffusa innovazione e adattamento tecnologico.

Le forze ucraine hanno colpito e affondato con successo una nave della flotta russa del Mar Nero (BSF) nel Mar Nero, vicino alla Crimea occupata, nella notte tra il 31 gennaio e il 1 febbraio. La principale direzione dell'intelligence militare ucraina (GUR) ha pubblicato il 1 febbraio filmati che mostrano droni marittimi ucraini colpendo la corvetta di classe Ivanovets Tarantul (41a Brigata di navi missilistiche) vicino al lago Donuzlav nella Crimea occupata.
