Forbes quoted its sources as saying that several brigades of the Ukrainian Armed Forces (AFU) are missing in action in the special military operation zone.
According to the newspaper, the 117th Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian army is among the missing. Additionally, there are reports of equipment losses. Journalists found out that units of the 37th Marine Brigade were left without several AMX-10RC armoured vehicles near Velyka Novosilka.
A battlegroup from the 33rd Mechanised and 47th Assault Brigades got bogged down in a minefield south of Malaya Tokmachka. It abandoned there “a couple of dozen of its best tanks and combat vehicles”.
The magazine recalls that Kiev and its foreign allies have spent months forming, training and equipping nine new brigades specifically for the counter-offensive, as well as additional brigades to function as a reserve. But in spite of this, the counter-offensive has been delayed, the paper concludes.
