The invading Russian forces are “frustrated” and simply as of yet unable to make anticipated or wished-for gains on the ground against a determined Ukrainian resistance force. 

Russian Long-Range Fires

As a result, attacking Russian forces are making what the Pentagon believes is a deliberate tactical shift toward the use of long-range fires, weapons such as artillery, cruise missiles and rockets.

“They continue to get frustrated, they continue to rely now more on what we would call long range fires,” Pentagon spokesman John Kirby told reporters March 8, according to a DoD transcript.

The tactical shift wherein long-range, ground fired weapons were landing in cities the Russian forces have yet to identify, can easily be interpreted as a “terror” tactic killing children and non-combatants. 

It would appear that the Russians are simply “unable” to make real progress in the Northern part of the country where they have been attempting to close in on Kyiv.
