**Russia’s Artillery Edge Fades**
The Russian military’s advantage in artillery is slowly disappearing. This change could make it harder for Russia to launch big attacks.
A Ukrainian spokesperson said that the gap between Russian and Ukrainian artillery power has narrowed. Before, there were five Russian guns for every one Ukrainian gun. Now, there are three Russian guns for every one Ukrainian gun.
**New Opportunities for Ukraine**
This shift in advantage could give Ukraine more flexibility on the battlefield. Russia’s style of intensive bombardment might not be as effective. Ukraine’s forces may have more freedom to move and fight.
**Russian Forces Adjust**
Ukrainian officials say that Russian forces are using air strikes and infantry attacks to make up for their lost artillery edge. The most intense fighting is currently happening in the Pokrovsk, Kurakhove, and Vremivka areas.
