"Success is a matter of time": the moral spirit of the Armed Forces fighters is higher than last year - nyt

The Ukrainian military says that success in the offensive is only a matter of time. The fighters are motivated and equipped with Western equipment. A few weeks later, since the onset of the Armed Forces, Ukrainian troops are moving further on the front and having a good moral spirit. About it reports The New York Times. On the 1000-kilometer front, Ukrainian troops are moving forward. Commanders and fighters say they are now in a better shape than 6 or 12 months ago.

"If a year ago we had defensive actions and we were tasked with restraining the enemy, now we have the opportunity to step on,"-says the commander of the 128th Mountain Mountain Brigade Colonel Dmitry Lysyuk. Some military people say that despite the fact that Russian occupiers have replaced a vast territory and built a large number of fortifications, they feel better thanks to Western assistance. Some battalions turned into brigades and volunteer groups into official military units.

Defense forces are replenished and continue to fight. The publication also noted that the supply of cassette ammunition has proved to be surprisingly effective. The head of the UAV of the Ukrainian Volunteer Army, Lieutenant Colonel Aste Harutyunyan says that some hostile units do not want to approach the radius of Ukrainian artillery. But the Russian Federation has moved to the use of more aviation and rocket strokes.

For more than a year, such units as the 128th Mountain Assault Brigade were ordered to keep a line along the Zaporizhzhya front, which often was a difficult task of defense of trenches and fortified positions under constant bombing. However, they are going forward now. "Tactically, cunning, Western technology, Ukrainian armed forces break through their defense. Success is just a matter of time," says the officer for the call sign.
