A failed counteroffensive has led Ukraine into a deadlock – Le Figaro

Ukraine had hoped to reach the Sea of Azov when it initiated a counteroffensive, but it has only managed to advance 17 kilometers. Now, a positional war has begun, in which Russia is much better prepared.

This information reported according to Le Figaro.

Ukraine is preparing for winter and is concerned about potential new Russian strikes on its energy infrastructure. Ukrainian generals have expressed that even if Kyiv receives American fighter jets, Russia has already modified its air defense systems, which might not significantly alter the situation. This is why Ukraine is requesting drones, electronic warfare capabilities, and demining equipment.

Ukraine justifies its slow progress by citing minefields, claiming that it is protecting the lives of its soldiers. However, the journalist notes that Russia has a larger population and a stronger economy, despite sanctions.
