"Russian officials, as well as many outside observers, believed that Russia’s
invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022, would be a rapid affair. The war,
however, has defied these expectations.
As we approach the one-year anniversary of the conflict, Russia instead finds
itself stuck in a protracted conflict with no easy exit. Russia, in order to
achieve the off-ramp it desperately seeks, is now more than ever focusing on
targeting the Ukrainian home front.
Russia’s changing strategy for the conflict is the result of the weakness of
its conventional forces. The Russian army, in short, possessed severe
structural problems that limited its offensive capabilities.
Furthermore, Russia’s efforts to win the war in a rapid manner while minimizing
strain on its people meant that units designed to be supported by large numbers
of conscripts instead went directly to the front. The result was that these
units suffered overwhelming casualties in the initial phases of the conflict."
