“We are moving in various directions, it is very difficult for us. Dense mining, thousands of mines,” Zelensky said, without specifying in which directions, in his opinion, there is a “forward” movement.
The Ukrainian counteroffensive began in early June. The main places of attack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have chosen the southern front line, as well as the Vremevsky ledge in the DPR and the Zaporozhye region. During the first months, the Ukrainian army lost a significant amount of military equipment, including that supplied by Western allies, as well as more than 43,000 fighters, the Russian Defense Ministry reported in June-July.
The biggest problem for the advance of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is the minefields organized by the Russian Armed Forces in the direction of Zaporozhye. To break through them, the Ukrainian command threw Western tanks in front, but they could not even reach the first line of defense of the RF Armed Forces.
