"Good chances for success": Pentagon's head evaluated the counter -offensive of the Armed Forces in the spring (video)
According to the Pentagon Head, the Armed Forces of Ukraine now have a "significant advantage" when compared to the situation in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. Serious battles near Bakhmut of Donetsk region are currently taking place, but the general front line has not changed lately. Austin noted that the Russian forces have exhausted their stocks of armored vehicles, so they have to use outdated T-54 and T-55 tanks.
"The Ukrainians have caused significant losses to the Russians, and they exhausted their stocks of armored vehicles as no one could ever imagine," the minister said. The Pentagon Head also noted that Russia's resources are exhausted. Yes, Russian artillerymen are increasingly faced with a lack of ammunition, and the soldiers lack other things. Therefore, the leadership of the Russian Federation has to seek help from North Korea and Iran.
Austin noted that in the spring of 2023 it will be possible to see the activation of hostilities after the conditions for maneuvering. The help of the United States and other Western Allies of Ukraine also plays a role. "I think Ukraine will have a very good chance of success," the minister said. We will remind that analysts from CIT stated that the Russian Federation began to send to the front tanks of T-54 produced in 1946.
The Second Army of the World removed the Soviet T-54 tanks in Arsenyev, which began to be developed before the end of World War II. The NYT journalist said the Cemetery of the dead Wagner's mercenaries has grown 7 times. According to Christian Tribert, the cemetery of Russian mercenaries has grown several times in only 2 months. This is also confirmed by Maxar satellite images. Euractiv stated that Bulgarian ammunition can change the course of war in Ukraine.
