The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) said in a recent assessment that the southern Ukrainian port city of Mariupol is likely to collapse in the coming weeks amid continued attacks by Russian military forces.
Russia's military did not make much progress on Thursday, according to an ISW analysis. The same information was given in the intelligence assessment of the United States and the United Kingdom about the suspension of the advance of the Russian army on Thursday.
The city of Mariupol could be "completely destroyed" by Russian military strikes, and targeting residential areas could lead to the city surrendering or eventually being captured, ISW said.
The U.S. think tank also said that Ukrainian military forces had inflicted heavy casualties on Russian forces in the vicinity of the capital Kiev on Thursday and appeared to have resisted Russian attacks in the Kharkiv region. Ukraine's air defense system is in place, and last Wednesday alone 10 Russian planes were shot down, the agency said.
According to Ukrainian intelligence, in the first 20 days after the start of the military operation in Ukraine, Russia may have destroyed almost the entire stockpile of accurate cruise missiles. Moscow's low morale has also come to the fore after the issue of Syrian fighters taking part in the war came up for discussion.
