A combination of factors, including Western supplies of better guns and shells, superior intelligence information and counterbattery fire, and long-range attacks on Russian supply lines have accumulated in favor of Ukraine over the past 10 months.

"Russian ground forces survivability relies on effectively detecting Ukrainian artillery and striking against it, often with its force's own artillery," the defense ministry said of the consequences of Russian losses on July 16."Russian defenders are highly likely struggling with poor morale ... and a limited ability to find and strike Ukrainian artillery," the ministry said on July 7.
