 | | After initial struggles with the local opposition and self-defense forces, the Red Army finally launched a slow offensive, codenamed Target Vistula, in late December 1918. |
 | | Although the orders for Operation Target Vistula were never rescinded, the Russian plans would soon be made obsolete by growing Polish resistance and eventually, in April, a Polish counteroffensive. |
 | | The Russian advance across the Vistula (in Polish, Wisła) River in the north was striking into an operational vacuum, as there were no sizable Polish forces in the area. |
