"Initiative behind us": experts named the cause

Experts in a comment to RBC-Ukraine named several reasons for the failure of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. As of now, it can be stated that the offensive of the enemy troops on the Liman-Kupyansk line has actually stopped. Accordingly, the plans of the Russian command also failed, as they were not ready for resistance from the Armed Forces.

During the month, no settlement in this direction has passed under the control of the Russian Federation, and the maximum advancement was up to 2 kilometers. The head of the press service of the Eastern Group Ilya Yevlash noted that one of the reasons why the battles subsided was that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation "was quite a lot of nuts" in the area of ​​Novoyegorovka of the Luhansk region.

Other experts noted that Russia has never been able to delay the units of the Ukrainian military from the southern direction, and the counter -offensive of the Armed Forces continued in all directions not in favor of the enemy. "Even Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu admitted the failure, who stated that the army is in active defense. Moreover, now the initiative is behind us.

It is our troops who make the enemy maneuver as we need, not as the occupiers want," - The head of the Center for Military Legal Research Alexander Musienko told. The military-political expert of the Information Resistance group Alexander Kovalenko also noted that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation were not ready for resistance, so their campaign exhaled.

"And all why? Because they were drawn to the axis of the Center and West troops were not well staffed and did not have the opportunity for offensive operations with a wide front, especially when it is necessary to break Ukrainian defense," the message reads. We will remind, on September 12 in the Armed Forces told about the attempts of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation to break the defense near Kupyansk.
