Western weapons supplied to Ukraine have not brought any results as the Russian army is effectively destroying them. This was stated by German journalist Julian Repke.
“Apart from being used as ‘armoured buses’, Western tanks and armoured personnel carriers have been rendered largely useless due to serious Russian positions, impassable minefields and incessant FPV drone attacks,” Julian Repke wrote on social network X.
Repke specified that such tactics of the Russian army does not allow the AFU to use Western equipment for its intended purpose: rapid offensive, encirclement of troops. For this reason, the AFU counter-offensive is on foot, he added, referring to the words of Kirill Budanov, head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Defence Ministry.
Last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin in an interview with Pavel Zarubin in the programme “Moscow. Kremlin. Putin” on Russia 1 channel, said that the Ukrainian counter-offensive had completely failed. In an interview with China Central Television ahead of his visit to China, the Russian leader spoke about the huge losses of the Ukrainian armed forces during the failed counter-offensive. According to Putin, the Ukrainian army’s losses are simply enormous: one to eight approximately, if we take the ratio.
