Satellite images show the scale of Russia's new defenses as Ukraine preps for a counteroffensive. Russia has constructed miles of trenches, rows of concrete "dragon's teeth," and minefields. Much of the defense focuses on Crimea, annexed by Russia in 2014, which Ukraine wants back. Military analysts told the Financial Times that Russia's defenses won't be enough to stop Ukraine moving forward, but will likely slow down its efforts. And it has also done so along the northern border of Luhansk province in eastern Ukraine, the Financial Times said.

Allied with the troubled call-up of hundreds of thousands of troops, each new development helped fuel a sense of panic in Russia. Putin said Monday’s deadly strikes were revenge, though Kyiv claimed they had been planned well in advance. “The attacks have not degraded Ukrainian military capabilities and are fundamentally irrelevant to the fighting in the northeast and south of Ukraine,” Tuck said. Sustaining such attacks will require a constant supply of rockets, which Moscow is increasingly running out of, military analysts said.
