"Ukraine's Strategic Moves in the War Against Russia"
TL;DR
Ukrainian special operations forces are conducting covert operations, including acts of sabotage, drone strikes, and targeted assassinations, to prepare the ground for an upcoming counteroffensive against Russian forces. These actions are part of a concerted effort to "shape the battlespace" and limit the adversary's options. The Ukrainian SOF have access to superior NATO equipment and have been trained by NATO SOF. The current missions carried out by the Ukrainian SOF are in stark contrast with their role at the onset of the full-scale invasion when they took on more conventional combat roles.
