"What Ukrainians are striking": American General estimated the offensive of the Armed Forces

Every kilometer of the territory is made at the cost of great efforts for Ukrainian fighters, said Pentagon's representative Douglas Sims, as the defense forces are moving to the replaced territory and under continuous fire. The Pentagon evaluated the promotion of Ukrainian troops as part of a counter -offensive.

Answering questions about the situation on the Ukrainian fronts, where it was expected that the promotion of defense forces would be at a faster pace, the director of operations of the United Pentagon Staff Duglas Sims said that, given all the difficult circumstances of the war, the Armed Forces were "moving fine". The American general stated this on July 13 during a briefing. Sims explained that it was real people who are at the epicenter of heavy fighting.

Ukrainian defenders use new equipment under continuous enemy fire, and in addition to overcome Russian mine fields. So when it comes to the promotion of Ukrainian fighters, every kilometer is made by the cost of great effort. "Where they move for hundreds of meters a day, and in some places, perhaps a kilometer a day, they do it with great expense forces. I will say that it is very, very difficult.

What we see from Ukrainians - They really do in a great consistency on the battlefield, ”the general emphasized. In addition, Sims noted that the fighting is taking place in a complex area under the continuous fire of the invaders. And considering all these points, the actions of Ukrainian fighters are very striking, summarized the representative of the Pentagon.
