Millions of mines laid by Russian servicemen on the frontline are hampering Ukrainian forces’ efforts to carry out a counter-offensive operation and have become a serious problem for them.
This is reported by the British newspaper The Independent. According to the publication, Ukraine is now the place with the largest number of mines in the world.
Attempts by the AFU to break through these fields not only result in huge losses among personnel, but also have a strong psychological impact.
The article notes that Western hopes for a diplomatic breakthrough due to the AFU offensive have been significantly weakened.
U.S. officials now predict that Kiev will not be able to achieve its main goal of breaking Russia’s land bridge with Crimea.
A translation of the article was prepared by InoTV.
Earlier, the commander of the Akhmat special forces, Apti Alaudinov, said that the Ukrainian army’s counter-offensive had long been “stalled”.
