Ukraine has worked with patience and cunninga series of movements on the board where certainly intelligence played a vital role.

Third step. Kiev managed to create a shock force powerful enough but agile to be able to launch the assault on the Kharkiv region. Triple success: the Russians did not notice, they moved troops south, they unguarded the posts. The Ukrainians, in the previous weeks, avoided giving any clues and then took advantage of the opportunity. Has intelligence made its contribution to further confuse the Russians? Was there a work of intoxication and masking? Certainly the Zelensky General Staff had a precise picture of what the units in the field and the fragility were, data obtained from its own reconnaissance assisted by the allied satellite one. It should be remembered that since the first days of conflict, the US has created a system to communicate targets and movements in real time.

Fourth step. The initial advance to the south alarmed the Kremlin, the hammering of the Himars and the raids of special forces together with the attacks of the partisans, attracted even more the attention of the Army. It was and the signal of a true counterattack by Ukrainea military commitment accompanied by Zelesnky’s promises on the reconquest of the territories.

Fifth step. Ukraine has moved its formations in the Kharkiv area by aiming decisively towards the road and rail axis that feeds Izyum and the chessboard. The Russians did not hold, also because there was only a veil of defense. Now they have to respond, but on several fronts. If the mobile resistance, dispersed and does not grant static references, the firepower of the attackers is reduced.

Sixth step. Strategists warn about risks for Ukrainians: they need abundant stocks, they must take care not to expose their lines, going to the assault costs lives and means. In fact they damage great merits to what Kiev has donefor they openly declare to stay away from triumphalism.
