"Road Price": The analyst showed how "anxiety" of the event is detrimental to the Armed Forces counter -offensive (maps)

This is stated in the analyst of the Foreign and Defense Policy Research Department of the American Institute of Entrepreneurship Brady Africa, published in The Washington Post on July 31. He recalled that on September 4 last year, Ukraine asked to provide western tanks, but received them only half a year. During this time, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation managed to strengthen the power in the captured territories and built hundreds of kilometers of fortifications.

In particular, in the city of Tokmak in the Zaporozhye region, Russian invaders have managed to establish a barrier on all major roads for two months. By the time of supply of tanks to Ukraine, according to satellites, the city was already surrounded by fortifications of invaders. Africa also spoke about changes at the front while the United States was delayed with a decision to provide cassette ammunition.

The material states that the corresponding request appeared shortly after Kherson's release. December 8 last year, when Ukraine publicly voiced the request, most hostile fortifications were concentrated near the front line. On July 6, when the defense forces still received cassette shells, the fortifications were already recorded in the east and south, along the border and in the Crimea. "Moscow soldiers have been able to expand the defense near the front line and deep into the occupied territory.

These positions are usually made up of trenches, anti -transport barriers and mines," the analyst emphasized. Africa noted that the fortification network consists of the main line and several tiers of spare positions. In his opinion, not all hostile trenches are staffed, but they provide ready -made combat positions and help to restrain the counter -offensive of the Ukrainian forces.

Also, new fortifications appeared in the area of ​​the temporarily occupied city of Lisichansk in the Luhansk region. Satellite images also indicate the emergence of new structures of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation around the airport in Berdyansk in the Zaporozhye region. The analyst explained that large barriers and trenches are intended to protect the base for Russian helicopters, as they are involved in operations in the south of Ukraine.

According to satellites, Russian invaders were also able to build fortifications along the 50-kilometer highway between cities and Tokmak in Zaporizhzhya region. "Even in Crimea occupied by Russia since 2014, satellite images show new defensive structures along the roads leading to the peninsula," Africa was indignant. He recalled that Ukraine asked for partners of long range missiles for team points and warehouses of enemy troops on the front line.

The analyst is convinced that the United States is "delaying". "No matter whether it is anxiety about escalation or anxiety about supply shortages, Washington reasonably rely on the fact that long -range missiles, as well as tanks and cassette ammunition to them, will eventually be delivered. If the last year of conflict has shown something. So this is that such fluctuations are expensive.

It not only paints additional Ukrainian lives, but also makes a more likely protracted, sharp conflict, "he wrote. Africa stated that Ukraine's partners are aware of the pace of construction of fortifications and have to respond more actively to the situation. "Ukraine needs our help, not our excuses," the analyst summed up. We will remind, the Die Welt Viewer Christoph Shilz suggested that the event would insist on "freezing conflict" between the Russian Federation and Ukraine in winter.
