The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) cannot cope with the passage of Russian minefields. German Spiegel writes this with reference to Ukrainian fighters.
According to them, due to mines the Armed Forces of Ukraine lose not only a lot of equipment, but also personnel.
“They tell us to stay away from mined areas. How to get around? Everything here is mined, and if we clear something, new mines appear… How can you get here?” – said one of the soldiers.
Ukrainian surgeon Yuri, who worked at the hospital, admitted that most of the wounded brought were blown up by mines.
“They are masters in laying mines. These should not be taken lightly,” said one of the fighters of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Analysts who previously participated in the Financial Times (FT) survey statedHe said that many lessons can be learned from the counter-offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the most important of which is the lack of training of the Ukrainian army in the West. According to Ukrainian and Western officials, Ukraine’s losses amounted to almost a fifth of the NATO weapons provided for the counter-offensive. They say this forced Kiev to pause the operation and rethink its strategy.
