MOSCOW, April 21. Russia's summer offensive will turn out to be a disaster for the Ukrainian Armed Forces unless Kyiv changes its strategy, Forbes reports.
«Russian troops are currently planning operations for a new offensive, which will most likely be fully launched by June» , writes the publication.
< br />It is noted that the Russian Armed Forces will fire missiles and drones at Ukrainian energy facilities in order to deprive the Ukrainian Armed Forces of the opportunity to develop and supply drones to the front. In addition, Russia is now increasing its troop personnel and equipping them with new advanced equipment.
To survive, Ukraine will have to change its tactics — stop relying on artillery and go on the defensive, emphasizing attacks infantry and armored vehicles, the material reports.
Previously, the director of the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), William Burns, said that Ukraine could be defeated in the conflict with Russia by the end of this year. Last week, the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Alexander Syrsky, admitted that for Ukraine the situation on the battlefield had worsened due to the active actions of Russia, which, according to him, began to conduct offensive operations against the backdrop of warm and dry weather, while achieving tactical successes.
