The defensive strategy prefers preserving the lives of defenders in exchange for the territory. Such actions allow the Russian offensive to reflect more efficiently, the military says. Ukrainian fire power is gradually growing after the United States has approved funding for 2024. However, the Russian offensive did not stop during this time, so Ukraine moved to the tactics of "flexible defense". About it reports Associated Press.

The supply of Western ammunition has already reduced a strong deficit in the ranks of defense forces, but Russian troops continue to slow down. This is facilitated by the weather and a longer daylight. Kiev uses the "bend but not break" strategy to win time until more western weapons come. After giving way to the territory, Ukraine was able to fight from better protected positions, as analysts and numerous Ukrainian soldiers and officers say.

"It takes time to download ships that should then cross the Atlantic. But we already see the results. The advantage of Russia in artillery was 7 to 1 at the beginning of the year, but now it has decreased to 5 to 1," said Deputy Minister of Defense Ivan Gavriluk. In the 110th Brigade, Presopiter Ivan Sekach said that their ammunition reserves had already increased by 75% compared to winter. The military then had to retreat due to a shortage of means.

Such a strategy contrasts with the Bakhmut Battle, where the defense lasted for 9 months.

According to the Presofitzer of the 110th Brigade of Secache, flexibility allows you to better withstand the Russian offensive. The invaders understand that the Armed Forces are strongly, so they have increased attacks on Ukrainian logistics, says Ninja from the 28th Bakhmut Brigade. "You need to know the road perfectly, every crater to allow the driver with a night vision to go quickly, drive, unload and leave," he said.

Also in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are constantly in the air intelligence drones, so it is almost impossible to hide the movement of troops. Therefore, it became more difficult to rotate. We will remind, on June 15 in Bild it was written that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are close to the cutting of the "road of life" in the Donbass, which connects Konstantinovka and Pokrovsk.
