The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) did not manage to reach the main line of defense of the Russian troops during their counterattack. According to military experts in the American newspaper, this forced them to change their war tactics. The Wall Street Gazette (WSJ).
The article states that the Ukrainian troops still did not reach the well-fortified Russian positions. According to experts, Kiev urgently needs Leopard 2 tanks and other military equipment supplied from the West to break through the Russian defense line. But Ukrainian troops lost a significant part of this equipment in the minefields in early June. Therefore, the Ukrainian Armed Forces had to change tactics.
Experts believe that the Ukrainian attacks are now led by infantrymen trying to break through the Russian minefields. These infantry were withdrawn from other units and from the reserve. Despite the heavy losses of the Ukrainian infantry in the minefields, Kiev hopes that a change in tactics will help overcome the Russian defenses.
