The results are disappointing: the Summer offensive of the Russian Federation is towing, but Ukraine "does not celebrate" - CNN

CNN writes that the results of the summer offensive of the Russian Federation are now "disappointing" for the invaders, but in some regions, the Russians have been able to achieve some success and increase their troops. According to the authors of the article, the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin did not give up territorial ambitions against Ukraine, since negotiations on ceasefire are departing.

Journalists point out that despite the intensification of the enemy offensive of Ukraine's defense forces began to counter in some areas, and the Ukrainian armed industry is developing rapidly, while the Russian economy is encountered by difficulties through war. However, the picture remains ambiguous, adding the authors of the material: the other day the attacks of the Russian infantry have intensified near the administrative border of Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk regions.

At the same time, Moscow insists that he will continue the fighting until he captures all Donetsk, Zaporizhzhya, Kherson and Lugansk regions. According to journalists, at the current rates of the Russian offensive this goal will take many years, and the war in Ukraine can continue in 2026. The authors of the article point out that in the Russian-Ukrainian war play an important role in unmanned aircraft.

Russia produces cheap UAVs of mass production to help some rockets overcome Ukrainian air defense, and more often uses such tactics for cities shelling. The Security Service of Ukraine reported that the Russian Federation produces nearly 200 Shahd drones daily and has about 6,000 such drones and about the same number of baits. Ukraine, in turn, increases the production of long-range drones for blows in Russian infrastructure: aerodromes, plants of the military-industrial complex, etc.

Journalists also point out that Russia and Ukraine continue to build the defense industry. At the same time, the Russian scale of production is much exceeding Ukrainian, but Russia's military budget is about 40% of the total government expenditures (6% of GDP), and this ignites inflation. Putin suggested that next year the cost of defense in the Russian Federation would be reduced.

According to the authors of the article, although the long -term forecast for the Russian Federation can be gloomy, it is able to finance the army for war in Ukraine in the short term and to generate military forces that are much higher than Ukrainian. Recall that The Telegraph, June 29, wrote about Russia's biggest problem on the front.

Journalists with reference to the words of the Ukrainian military noted that the summer offensive of the Russian Federation in general stopped due to poor preparation of the infantry of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. At the same time, on June 27, the deputy commander of the 3rd OSHB was declared on June 27 about the rapid promotion of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Donetsk and Kharkiv regions and warned that difficult summer and autumn could be expected for Ukraine.
