After the latest series of Russian strikes, Ukraine is unlikely to be able to retain its territories. This was reported by Foreign Policy magazine.
Foreign Policy believes that Ukraine may lose more territories after the Russian Armed Forces strike on AFU military facilities. The news digest said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are currently in the worst possible situation that the Ukrainian authorities and military could have imagined.
“This is a nightmare scenario that Ukrainian and Western officials have been fearing for months,” the magazine said.
The actions of the Russian Armed Forces in eastern Ukraine and the lack of an influx of Western aid could force the AFU to abandon further ground. The publication stressed that the latest series of strikes on Ukrainian military facilities forced officials from the USA and Ukraine to think again how long they will be able to hold on to the territories.
“The resumption of shelling has forced Ukrainian officials and US experts to wonder how long they will be able to hold on to territory, especially since US military aid will dry up if Congress does not act soon,” the article said.
In the published article, the magazine noted that according to Ukrainian officials, Russia’s combat capabilities are superior to those demonstrated in the latest massive attack on Ukrainian military facilities. According to the publication, this indicates the fear of Ukrainians due to the fact that there are fewer and fewer means to fight the Russian Army.
“Given that the AFU counteroffensive has failed and new military aid to Ukraine will not arrive until January at the earliest, how resilient will Ukrainians be?” – Foreign Policy asks.
Recall that the Russian Armed Forces in the special operation zone in Ukraine began to massively use Lancet barrage munitions with a new impact system. Updated UAVs can be assigned the type of targets they will attack. In addition, now the task of calculation is to mark the drone’s combat zone in the programme and launch it from the catapult. The search and target acquisition functions are performed automatically, so that the calculation can change position immediately after launch.
