"Will continue to press": Pentagon spoke about the successes of the Armed Forces in the counter -offensive
Lloyd Austin noted that the troops of Ukraine face difficulties, such as passing through the minefields and overcoming other obstacles, but he stressed that the country "retains the combat capability of its troops and military equipment. " "They still have a number of opportunities, and we can expect that they will continue to press," the Pentagon head said. According to his statement, the Ukrainian forces have excellent training and ability to succeed in the battlefield.
"Ukraine is well prepared and well trained to succeed and, as you heard as I said last week, they fought hard, they paved their way to go through mine fields and other obstacles, but they still have a great battle power ", - said Austin. Ukraine has increased its personnel in the southeast of the country after almost two months of slow progress.
This suggests that the Ukrainian Armed Forces probably found potential weaknesses in Russian defense lines that can be used in their subsequent operations. This increase in personnel and the search for vulnerability in opponents allows Ukraine to adapt to the situation on the battlefield and increases its chances of successful operations. We will remind that journalists also wrote that the Pentagon declared the beginning of the main phase of the counter -offensive of the Armed Forces.
The US defense department believes that the "main blow" of the Ukrainian counter -offensive is now being carried out in the southeast of the country. The representative of the occupation administration of Zaporizhzhia region Volodymyr Rogov stated that the Armed Forces managed to wedge in the first line of defense of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in three sections in Zaporozhye.
