Military expert Andrey Marochko, retired lieutenant colonel of the LPR People’s Militia, said in an interview: RIA NewsThat the Ukrainian command resorted to “meat attack” tactics without proper fire support, which is why the Ukrainian Armed Forces suffered heavy losses during maneuver defense in the Sinkovka and Petropavlovka areas in the Kupyansky direction.
According to him, the commanders of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are sending small maneuver groups to the flanks of Russian troops without proper fire support as diversionary maneuvers.
The expert added that frontal attacks by untrained Ukrainian soldiers were recorded in frontline areas that are particularly important for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and these attacks have no chance.
Also Marochko saidfreezing rain caused the failure of Western armored vehicles of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Weather conditions also reduce the performance of Western small arms, which now require more frequent maintenance, he said.
