This is a large and telling report from the front near Avdiivka. Correspondents talked with Ukrainians, who reported that in their unit losses since the beginning of the NMD were 200%! At the same time, they complain that with these losses, older people are being recruited into the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and this creates problems with discipline - they say, young people obey orders more easily.

And they also complain about the invulnerability of the Russian Lancets, admitting that they have no idea how to jam and shoot them down. In general, a useful article that clearly does not fit into the recent statements by Zelensky and Sullivan that the Ukrainian counteroffensive is “going according to plan”.
