"Counter -offensive": Tarnavsky named the reason for the slow advance of the Armed Forces
He acknowledged that Ukrainian troops had achieved modest success, especially in the south, as it was expected that advancement would be rapid with the capture of some boundaries, some objects and as a result of achieving some goal. "The counter -offensive is successful, but not as much as we would like," Tarnavsky said. The general explained the cause of slow motion. According to him, the Russians were very well prepared.
Russian training, as it turned out, was concentrated around huge, carefully sown mine fields. This influenced the promotion of Ukrainian troops. At the same time, manual demining is time -consuming and dangerous. Tarnavsky noted that the Russian troops did a very dense comprehensive mining using minefields. This applies to fragmentation and fugitive ammunition and direct laying of powerful fugas. "They are used in areas where equipment and personnel will take place," the military said.
