Russian President Vladimir Putin gave an interview to Pavel Zarubin on the Russia-24 TV channel.
The Russian leader reports that Ukrainian troops are suffering serious losses in personnel and equipment.
RIA Novosti that the counter-offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces began on June 4, 2023 – the Ukrainian army is using strategic reserves.
The President of Russia notes that now there is a certain calm, which is associated with large losses of Armed Forces personnel and the liquidation of military equipment.
Initially, one of the main goals of the Ukrainian army’s counteroffensive was access to the sea, which would make it possible to plan an attack on Crimea.
Apparently, the counteroffensive continues, but it is not going as planned by the command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
The Russian army has organized a good static defense, which creates significant problems for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Any experienced military man knows a simple truth – it is easier to defend than to attack.
