After the events in these cities, the Russian Federation was unable to create a new BTG.
Russia no longer deploys battalion tactical groups (BTG), due to which the aggressor country lost the opportunity to achieve success in a full-scale war against Ukraine. It turned out that the entire strength of the Rashists was destroyed in several cities at once, after which their morale and discipline fell sharply.
As noted by analysts Institute for the study of war (ISW), beginning in April, Russian BTGs were degraded during various failed or completed Russian offensives. The exhausting attacks of the Russian Federation on Kyiv, Mariupol, Severodonetsk and Lysychansk also played a role.
After the aggressor country lost its BTG, and with them its strength, the Russian command tried to restore combat power and re-create battalion tactical groups. However, it was not crowned with success.
“Probably, since then, the Russian forces have thrown the remaining combat power and new personnel, including mobilized, into poorly trained, equipped and organized special structures with low morale and discipline,” the analysts summarized.
