War in Ukraine. Campaign 2023
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin

[ColonelCassad] Positive 2023.
1.Victory in the Zaporozhye defensive operation. Huge losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Destruction of myths about Western technology.

2.Victory in the Battle of Artyomovsk. Liberation of Artemovsk.

3. Liberation of Marinka and several dozen villages in different directions. The enemy did not capture a single city in 2023.

4. Growth in production volumes of the domestic military-industrial complex. Development of the UAV industry and the general growth of their numbers and types.

5. The collapse of attempts to politically isolate Russia. The growth of BRICS and the processes of de-dollarization. Super successful African campaign.

6. The collapse of the strategy of economic destruction of Russia. The country's transition to economic growth.

7. Increased assistance from allied countries and the influx of foreign volunteers. We are not alone.

8. General increase in the grouping of the Russian Armed Forces in Ukraine and the Russian Armed Forces as a whole. Active formation of new parts and connections.

9. Active restructuring of the state and society on a war footing. It's crooked, askew, but we're going in the right direction.

10. Activation of internal SVO processes. The fight against the fifth column. It’s crooked, askew, but we press.

NEGATIVE 2023
1. Prigozhin's rebellion. Death of pilots and PMCs. Surovikin's disgrace.

2. Death of Prigozhin and Utkin. Disbandment of PMC Wagner in its previous form.

3. The death of Vladlen Tatarsky and many other good people at the front and in the rear. We remember.

4. Unsuccessful attack on Ugledar. The most offensive military failure. There were chances.

5. Losses of the Black Sea Fleet. Including optional ones.

6. The death of pilots in the Bryansk region and a number of other losses of military pilots.

7. Mistakes of some generals and unnecessary losses. Every commander is a general, but not every general is a commander.

8. Revealed facts of corruption and theft of logistics. The problems stretch back to pre-war times. Plantings are underway.

9. Problems with counter-battery warfare and artillery range. The army needs longer-range systems.

10. Continued problems with safety equipment, special equipment, communications, cars, etc. It is necessary to increase the equipment of the troops.

Overall, the 2023 campaign ends in Russia's favor.

Two major battles were won, Russia’s strategic positions in Ukraine and in the world were strengthened. There is the bitterness of losses and various annoying mistakes and shortcomings, but there was clearly more good than bad. The country is gradually being rebuilt to new realities - the Special Military Operation has a huge impact on the transformation of society and the state.

The goals of the SMO, stated and unstated, must and will be achieved.
