Kremlin may reshuffle military command – ISW

Russian, Ukrainian and Western sources note that following the results of the winter offensive, Russia did not achieve its goals of capturing the entire territory of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions by March 31. According to the BBC, American military analysts write about this in their latest report.

Analysts report the following:

• There are indications that the Kremlin may soon reshuffle Russian military command in the wake of a failed winter offensive.
• Russian troops did not achieve success in the Bakhmut area and continued offensive operations along the Avdeevka-Donetsk front line.
• Russian troops continued to strengthen the defenses in the occupied south of Ukraine.
• Russia’s military conscription, which began on April 1, was the largest since 2016.
• The Russian occupation authorities continue to deport Ukrainian children to Russia, ostensibly for rest and rehabilitation.
