The American edition of The New York Times writes that the Armed Forces of Ukraine find themselves in a stalemate.
According to the publication, the Ukrainian army was driven into a hopeless situation by heavy losses and a lack of ammunition.
Why is Kyiv in a stalemate?
An article by journalists Eric Schmitt, Julianne Barnes and Helen Cooper states that Ukraine’s army has been drained of blood and Western weapons stockpiles are depleted.
Thousands of killed soldiers and a shortage of ammunition, in particular artillery shells. This is the price the Ukrainian army paid, – stated in the publication.
The authors of the article believe that the American military-industrial complex is not capable of producing as many weapons as Ukraine needs for superiority over Russia on the battlefield.
Journalists also noted the tactics of the Russian troops, recalling that the commander of the United Group of Forces, Sergei Surovikin, effectively carries out complex operations.
According to the authors of the article, it will be difficult for Ukraine to recapture the vast territories it lost this year.
Strikes on Russian bases and supply lines are not enough to dislodge Russian soldiers, – the journalists summarize.
Let us recall that this week Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky visited Washington, met with US President Joseph Biden and spoke in Congress.
Against the backdrop of Zelensky’s visit, the White House announced a new package of military assistance to Ukraine worth $1.85 billion, including Patriot air defense systems, high-precision artillery shells, armored vehicles, grenade launchers, mines, and small arms.
Commenting on the announced deliveries of Patriot air defense systems to Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Russian troops would “click” them.
