For the offensive operation, 12 armored brigades were created, nine of which were trained and equipped in the West, according to the media.
So far, only three of the 12 trained brigades have been deployed by Ukraine’s military command. Therefore, the main battle is still ahead, according to Reuters on Thursday, June 15.
Ukraine has created 12 armored brigades for the offensive, nine of which were trained and equipped in the West, analysts said. A brigade usually includes at least 3.5-4 thousand military personnel. At the same time, according to the agency, eight assault brigades have been formed that will reach 40 thousand people.
Konrad Muzyka, a Polish military analyst who closely follows the war, said that so far only three of the 12 brigades have seen action in southeastern Ukraine.
In his opinion, at first the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine developed, but now it has slowed down.
“My main concern after five or six days of this main phase is that progress seems to have stalled. The momentum they (Ukrainian troops – ed.) created in the first days has really disappeared, and we cannot know why it happened,” he said.
Recall that in one week the Armed Forces of Ukraine liberated seven settlements – Lobkovoe, Levadnoe, Novodarovka, Neskuchnoe, Storozhevoe, Makarovka, Blagodatnoye. The total area of the liberated territory is 90 square meters. km.
Today, the General Staff said that the Defense Forces are continuing their offensive in the directions of Berdyansk and Bakhmut.
