Colonel General Valery Marchenkov, former commander of Army General Sergei Surovikin, said in an interview with the agency: ura.ruThe failures of the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) are connected with the line of defense that Surovikin correctly established.
According to Marchenkov, Surovikin changed the defense, relying not on the battalion, but on the company support groups. He noted that the general foresaw the actions of Ukraine, therefore he redistributed personnel in such a way that “the counterattack constantly fails.”
