Ukraine's counterattack operations are very small
According to the Washington Post, Ukraine has launched a counterattack for more than two months, and has not been able to achieve a decisive victory. This has caused the outside world to worry that the Russian and Ukraine War may be stalemate, and the international community's support for Ukraine will also weaken.
Reports pointed out that Ukraine's counterattack seems to be stagnant, and the Ukraine only regains a few villages, but the Russian army is advancing in the northern region.A confidential intelligence prediction in the United States predicts that the Ukraine cannot advance to Melitobal, a key city in the southeast this year.
The United States will hold the presidential election next year, and it is expected that domestic demands to reduce the sound of assistance to Ukraine will rise.Analysts believe that unless Ukraine has more advanced weapons to support front -line warfare or fully invest in military power, counterattacks are unlikely to make breakthroughs.
Gadi, a senior researcher at the Institute of International Strategy and the US Security Center, believes that Russia is currently trying to consume the other party's resources, rather than seizing large areas."The question now is which party will be faster."
Before the advanced fighter aircraft was sent, the Ukrainian army continued to launch more attacks to Russia with drones, including the target of the attack, including Russia.However, analysts pointed out that the production capacity of Ukraine drones cannot support the in -depth cracking down on Russia's goals, and it is unlikely to reverse the war by drones.
The Ukrainian army started a counterattack in the east and southern parts since June, but encountered a strong fight against the occupation forces.Ukraine Deputy Defense Mary said on Monday that the situation of Udonharkov was severe, but the Ukraine repelled the Russian offensive and regained several square kilometers of territory in the past week.There have been no major changes in the southern war.
