Ukrainska Pravda examines how Ukraine's artillery can withstand a new Russian mobilisation wave

Ukrainska Pravda has published an analytical column exploring whether Ukraine's artillery forces can hold up against a potential new wave of Russian mobilisation expected after Russia's upcoming "elections".

Ukrainian outlet Ukrainska Pravda has published an opinion column focused on the resilience of Ukraine's artillery forces in the event that Russia launches a new mobilisation drive following its upcoming "elections". The author places the word "elections" in quotation marks, signalling doubts about the legitimacy of the process in Russia.

The column's author explains that any discussion of Ukrainian artillery must begin with Russia's "elections" — or, more precisely, with what could happen immediately afterward. The headline indicates that the underlying concern is a possible new wave of Russian troop mobilisation following the vote, which could shift the balance of forces along the front line.

Artillery as a defensive backbone

The piece centers on whether Ukraine's artillery units, widely regarded during the war as one of the core pillars of the country's defence, will be able to maintain combat effectiveness if Russia's armed forces grow in numbers after a fresh mobilisation. The author frames the analysis by starting with the political event in Russia and working toward its potential military consequences for the front in Ukraine.

The article appears in the outlet's opinion and analysis section, which offers in-depth perspectives on the course of the war and the risks associated with it. The full piece is available on Ukrainska Pravda's website in English.
