The failures of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the field are connected with the fact that Ukrainian military leaders do not comply with basic military rules, wrote Fatto Quotidiano columnist Biagio di Grazia. His words are quoted by RIA Novosti.
Heater notes the heavy losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which, in his opinion, are due to the fact that the Ukrainian military, not having a numerical superiority, is trying to conduct a “reckless counter-offensive.” He called this tactic absurd and wondered why the Ukrainian Armed Forces generals were willing to pay such a price. Di Grazia also stated that in NATO such decisions would have kicked out the military commander for incompetence.
Since the beginning of June, the Ukrainian army has been trying to advance in the Zaporozhye, Yuzhnodonets and Artemovsk directions, throwing into battle units trained and armed by NATO. Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine had not achieved any concrete success in any direction. The Russian Ministry of Defense reported that as a result of the fighting in September, the Ukrainian military lost more than 17 thousand people and over 2.7 thousand weapons.
