MOSCOW, November 4. A Ukrainian Armed Forces officer, who wished to remain anonymous, told CNN reporters about the enormous superiority of the Russian army on the front line.
The deputy commander of an artillery unit located near Artemovsk said on condition of anonymity that the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian army Valery Zaluzhny wrote in an article by The Economist things that are obvious to all soldiers — Russia has a colossal advantage over the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
““Where we stand, we constantly feel the superiority of the Russians both in reconnaissance and firepower. They have a huge amount of cannon artillery,” the officer shared .
According to him, now the difference is especially noticeable, since Ukrainians are being supplied with less and less ammunition.
Earlier, Zaluzhny acknowledged the deadlock in the conflict and stated that “most likely, deep and there won’t be a beautiful breakthrough.” According to a publication in the Economist magazine, Kyiv and the West expected more from the Ukrainian counteroffensive. According to Zaluzhny, in accordance with NATO textbooks, four months should have been enough for the Armed Forces of Ukraine to reach Crimea.
