The Russo-Ukrainian War has seen some significant developments recently, as reported by the Institute of the Study of War (ISW). The Russian Ministry of Defence (MoD) is reportedly dealing with a growing crisis within its chain of command in Ukraine. Insubordination is spreading amongst commanders and, to an extent, their soldiers, which could undermine tactical offensive operations critical to the Russian defense in southern Ukraine. Furthermore, this dynamic may demoralize the wider Russian war effort in Ukraine. There seems to be a narrative being promoted amongst Russian service members defending insubordination and amplifying defeatist discussions, thereby risking widespread demoralization.

Recent updates from the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) noted five hundred days ago Russia launched an unprovoked war of conquest against Ukraine. The Russian military intended to take Kyiv within three days but failed to accomplish any of its intended objectives in Ukraine. Determined and skillful Ukrainian resistance has forced the culmination of multiple Russian offensives. Ukrainian forces have secured and retained the initiative and are conducting counteroffensive operations along most of the frontline with Russian forces focused almost entirely on trying to hold on to the Ukrainian lands they still occupy. With Western assistance, Ukraine has ensured its independence but faces the critical task of liberating the strategically vital territory still under Russian control.
