The Kremlin continues cognitive warfare efforts to attempt to convince the West to abandon Ukraine by projecting the false narrative that Russian battlefield victory in Ukraine is inevitable and that Russian forces are making widespread battlefield gains.

📌 Summary:
本報告由 Institute for the Study of War(ISW)發布,評估俄羅斯於 2025 年 7 月 12 日在烏克蘭的攻勢戰役進展。報告詳細分析俄軍在多個戰線的戰術動向、兵力部署及戰果,並探討俄羅斯在中東地區如伊朗、伊拉克及利比亞的戰略影響力。報告指出,俄羅斯在烏克蘭東部持續推進,利用重火力和機械化部隊試圖突破烏克蘭防線,但遭遇頑強抵抗。中東方面,俄羅斯透過支持代理勢力,維持其地緣政治影響力,尤其在伊朗與敘利亞的合作加強,對區域安全構成挑戰。整體而言,俄羅斯的軍事行動呈現多線作戰態勢,顯示其戰略目標不僅限於烏克蘭,還涵蓋更廣泛的地區影響力擴張。

🎯 Key Points:
→ 俄羅斯在烏克蘭東部戰線持續攻勢,重點集中於頓巴斯地區,利用重型火炮和裝甲部隊試圖突破烏克蘭防禦。
→ 烏克蘭軍隊展現強烈抵抗,利用地形優勢和游擊戰術有效拖延俄軍進展。
→ 俄軍在戰略上採取多線作戰,除了烏克蘭外,亦在中東地區透過代理人勢力擴展影響力。
→ 伊朗與俄羅斯加強軍事合作,特別是在敘利亞戰場上,雙方共享情報與軍事資源。
→ 利比亞局勢持續動盪,俄羅斯支持的武裝團體與當地勢力交織,影響地區安全。
→ 報告強調俄羅斯軍事行動的複雜性及其在全球戰略布局中的多重目標,提醒國際社會關注其長期影響。
→ ISW 利用 ORBAT(作戰部隊組織結構)分析,詳細呈現俄軍兵力分布與指揮鏈,為理解戰場態勢提供重要參考。

Russia has vulnerabilities that the West has simply not been exploiting. On the contrary, US incrementalism has helped the Kremlin offset and mask its weaknesses. The Kremlin’s weaknesses include its inability to rapidly pivot, dependence on others for R
