As Putin's army outmanned the Ukrainian military, trained operatives who were positioned in occupied territory in Ukraine came up with a new strategy.

A network of partisans were activated in late July, following in the footsteps of Ukraine's elite Special Operations Forces who stepped up missions in occupied territories, according to the Express.

Recent attacks have forced Putin's army to spend time and resources defending their rear bases.

In occupied territories like Melitopol, partisans in recent weeks have been setting off small explosions, including the bombing of a car driven by a Ukrainian collaborator, according to reports.

A retired British special forces soldier that has trained Ukrainians told the Financial Times: "That’s what the French resistance did — softening targets and infrastructure."

President Vladimir Putin is in crisis. Ukraine's recent exploits and counterattacks are a complete humiliation as they show that Ukraine is "not a puppet of Russia."

Historian Sergey Radchenko explained that for Ukrainians the current war is an "existential issue" and that negotiations would mean "giving up much of their territory", explaining that the relationship between Russia and Ukraine denied the possibility of an agreement.

Mr Radchenko said Russia "needs to wake up to the idea that Ukraine is an independent state."

The Russian president continues to refer to Russia's invasion of Ukraine as a "special military operation." On Ukraine's Independence Day, President Volodymyr Zelensky said his country was "born again" when Russia invaded it six months ago.

With Russia's economy in ``shambles'', President Vladimir Putin , after the war in Ukraine is over, Kyiv will face a deep crisis, whether it is defeated or not, according to experts.
