Missed its chance: the Russian Federation lost 99,000 soldiers to seize the neighborhood in the time ravine - Forbes

According to the newspaper, the pace of losses forces Moscow to send new troops to the front without proper management, training and equipment. On April 4, Russian troops launched an attack at the time of Yar, a Ukrainian stronghold in eastern Ukraine, located west of Bakhmut's ruins. Three months later, this week, they captured the most vulnerable area of ​​the city - the channel area, the cost of lives of thousands of Russian soldiers. Forbes writes about it.

According to journalists, from the beginning of the campaign in the time ravine, Russian military lost 99,000 people. Although not all of them died directly in the time ravine, a significant part of them has suffered losses in the region. "Russia has achieved some success on Earth, but even it was a huge price to it," says Mick Ryan, General of the Australian Army.

Having spent so many lives for the sake of such a small benefit, Russia seems to have missed its last chance to strike a decisive blow to Ukraine in this war, "Ryan added. The Ukrainian garrison in the time ravine continues to fight. The Ukrainian Army Prescriber Nazar Voloshin said the garrison retreated several quarters to the west through the Siversky Donets-Donbas channel, as Russian bombs and artillery destroyed all buildings in the canal.

According to the newspaper, some may surprise that the Ukrainian garrison, headed by the 41st and 67th mechanized brigades, 56th motorized brigade, 5th assault team and 241st territorial defense brigade, lasted for so long in the isolated and vulnerable district channel. At the end of May, the Ukrainian analytical group Fronetelligence Insight predicted that the Yar would eventually be lost for the Armed Forces, but our garrison lasted for another 6 weeks.

According to the newspaper, the fact that in mid -April, US Presidential Administration Joe Biden restored the supply of ammunition to Ukraine after the failure of six months efforts of pro -Russian republican legislators to refuse assistance. The Ukrainian defense also helped that due to severe losses, the Russian regiments and crews weakened, although the Kremlin, although hard, managed to recruit fresh troops to replace the killed and wounded.

However, the pace of losses forces Moscow to send new troops to the front without proper guidance, training and equipment. "Russia is unable to create better and larger forces that could carry out more large -scale offensive operations," Ryan explains. For Ukrainian soldiers who defend the ravine, it was a pleasure. They fight the quarter by quarter, regardless of the wider strategic context.

In the time ravine, more violent battles are likely to be the blocks, as the Russians seek to expand their successes in one of the few places where they are moving forward at all, writes Forbes. According to the Ukrainian Center for Defense Strategies, Russian troops will soon start attacks through the Siversky Donets-Donbas channel in the central part of the time ravine from their positions in the channel.
