Gradually everything is in favor of Ukraine: the head of the General Staff of Britain about the counter -offensive of the Armed Forces

This was stated by the UK Defense Staff Admiral Tony Radakin, reports the Security and Defense Department of The Guardian Dan Sabbach on Twitter. According to Admiral, the Ukrainian counter-offensive has not yet begun. He describes the current strategy of Kiev in three words: "to demand, stretch and stretch, Stretch and Strike) to eventually break Russian troops. The Armed Forces are now striving to stretch the enemy's defense line and find vulnerability.

The counter -offensive "has never been a single effect", and efforts should also be made in the economic and diplomatic spheres. The Admiral believes that everything is gradually being in favor of Ukraine, and therefore not quite legitimate to set any time frames and confidently state as if the counter -offensive is slow. And Russia is so weak that it is unable to offer any adequate answer.

Radakin drew attention to the fact that even in the last few weeks, Ukraine has managed to take more positions than the Russian Federation for the last year. "Russia has lost about 2000-2500 tanks in 18 months of battles, and can only replace them at the rate of 200 pieces a year," he said. Ukraine also effectively uses Storm Shadow. These long-range ammunition are quite technological, but still do not reach "Super Top.

" However, thanks to additional modifications, these missiles affect Russian air defense. Recall that expert Sergey Sumlenny from the German Analytical Center of the European Resilience Initiative Center believes that when the Armed Forces crosses the Dnieper, it will become a nightmare for the Russian Federation. It was also reported that Russians use chemical weapons in the Bakhmut area.
