The Ukrainian military is gradually gaining positions, having won back several small towns and villages from the invaders. However, do not expect great success on the battlefield right now. It should be understood that the battles will be bloody and difficult, because the Russians are well entrenched in the occupied territories. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg stated this in an interview with USA Today.
We must be prepared for the fact that this offensive will be bloody and difficult. The Russians had time to strengthen – these are quite heavy defensive lines, and breaking through them is a difficult task, he stressed.
The Secretary General of the North Atlantic Alliance also added that the military of the aggressor country, which tried to resist the offensive actions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, were not only poorly equipped and provided, but also did not have proper command.
But we see that the Ukrainians have the courage, the determination to liberate the land … and push the Russians back,” Stoltenberg said.
Recall, on June 13, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine stated that during the offensive operation, the troops of the shock group of the Defense Forces of Ukraine advanced from 500 m to 1 km in the Berdyansk direction during June 12. The area of the territory taken under control is up to three square kilometers.
And in the Bakhmut direction, the Armed Forces have success in the area of u200bu200bthe Berkhovsky reservoir. The advance of Ukrainian troops yesterday amounted to 250 m. In the Toretsk direction, the Armed Forces of Ukraine advanced by 200 m.
