"Russia, having learned from the experience of breaking through defenses in Ugledar, Mariupol, Avdiivka, has today switched to a very interesting tactic called infiltration and bypassing settlements, creating certain forces in the depth of defense and simultaneous strikes from the front and from the rear," the expert said in an interview with Lenta.Ru .
