According to Shilz, the armed forces of the Russian Federation were able to partially break through the makeshift fourth line of defense of Ukraine, which allegedly often consisted only of barbed wire. The journalist noted that the Kremlin seeks to seize Sumy, Kharkiv and Dnipropetrovsk regions in addition to the already large extent occupied by Lugansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhya, Kherson regions and Crimea.
Also, with reference to the material of the Wall Street Journal of June 11, Shilz writes that in May of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation they captured more territories than almost any month from the beginning of a full-scale invasion. The correspondent noted that the summer offensive of the Russian Federation started in early June.
Since then, the occupiers have constantly fired the position of the Armed Forces with rockets and drones on the fiber, trying to cut Ukrainian fighters from supply lines and take it, and in May, about 6,000 aviations have been thrown away. While the supply of Western weapons of Ukraine has decreased significantly compared to the previous year, the Russian armed industry works at full capacity, Shilz writes.
According to him, many Ukrainian brigades lack weapons, ammunition and soldiers and they are so exhausted that they can "barely fight". "Instead, the Russian armed forces are now experiencing the higher inflow of recruits, as many men are afraid that the war can end soon and want to secure profitable bonus payments after joining the service," the journalist says.
However, the current territorial achievements of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are not necessarily decisive in the war in Ukraine, said the military analyst, Colonel Marcus Reisner from the Ministry of Defense in Vienna. According to him, it is more important to consume resources and how long Ukraine can last.
Risner referred to the words of the former Russian and Soviet commander Alexander Svechin, who said that if it is impossible to reach a quick victory, it is necessary to slowly crush the enemy. "And this is what Russia is doing now," the military analyst said. We will remind, in the published material on June 13 the material journalists The New York Times, with reference to Ukrainian officers, wrote about the event of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Dnipropetrovsk.
The spokesman of the operational-strategic group "Khortytsia" Viktor Tregubov denied the information of the publication and noted that there was no data on the intersection of the border of the Dnipropetrovsk region. On June 12, The Washington Post wrote that the offensive in Ukraine cost more human lives than in all the wars of the Soviet and Russian armies after the Second World War.
