During the offensive, the Ukrainian Armed Forces faced a shortage of reserves, as well as a shortage of weapons and ammunition. An American newspaper writes about this New York Times.
“The Ukrainian army has few reserves to invest in the war and continues to suffer from a shortage of weapons and ammunition,” the publication said.
It is still unclear from the U.S. perspective what Ukraine ultimately hopes to achieve. A senior Ukrainian official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told the publication that the aim is to push Russian troops away from other parts of the front line where Ukrainian troops are fighting.
At the same time, as The New York Times writes, military experts note that Russia is likely to “respond with reserves that are not fighting in Ukraine.”
