According to foreign experts, the Ukrainian army successfully reflected seven villages in the southeast of the country, but suffered significant casualties both in live strength and technology. The Polish military analyst Conrad Music said that only three of the 12 brigades of the Ukrainian army have been observed in the battles in the southeast. "My main anxiety five to six days after this basic phase is that progress seems to have stopped.
The impulse, which they have accumulated in the first couple of days, is essentially disappeared, and we do not know why it is so,"-" He believes music and added that Ukraine could lose up to 15% of its Bradley and several of its leopards. Ukraine has developed an offensive plan for Russia, which should be carried out six months after the restoration of control over Kherson and part of Kharkiv region.
As part of this plan, 12 armored crews were formed, of which nine were western training and received appropriate weapons, according to experts. Each team consists of approximately 3. 5-4 thousand soldiers. In addition, there are eight assault brigades in Ukraine, which include about 40,000 Interior Ministry recruits. Currently, the defense forces attacked two districts near Orekhov and the Great Novosilka, 80 km from the temporarily occupied Tokmak and Melitopol of Zaporizhzhya region.
These cities are reported to have strong Russian defense. Military analyst Jack Wotling emphasized that it is too early to conclude whether the offensive is successful or unsuccessful. He urged to be careful with premature statements about the success or failure of this operation. Military experts say that Ukraine can apply its main forces in the counter -offensive, monitoring the movements of the Russian troops.
They indicate the ability to attack in areas where Russia has weak defense, such as the eastern part. "There is a lot of exhaustion on both sides. The risk to them (Ukrainians, ed. ) Is that before they reach this (Russian, ed. ) Defense line, they will take too much exhaustion, and it will be too hard to break through and use it, " - said Senior Researcher at the Institute for Foreign Policy Research Rob Lee. Analysts are reportedly drawn from satellite and photographic data.
