The first attempts to break through the defense: Ukraine faced the rigid resistance of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation - CNN

According to journalists, the Ukrainian troops managed to break part of the Russian forces in the Bakhmut area. But it is also about the loss of personnel and equipment of the Armed Forces, including wheel armored vehicles with enhanced MRAP. In the last few days, in the course of its first attempt to break Russian defense lines in the East, Ukraine has encountered a more severe resistance to Russian forces than expected.

It is reported by CNN with reference to two high -ranking US leadership representatives. The loss of personnel and equipment is mentioned. One of the officials spoke about "significant" losses, among other things, mentioned wheel armored vehicles with increased MRAP. The Ukrainian troops managed to break some Russian forces in the Bakhmut area, but the Russian military with anti -tank missiles, grenades and mortars resisted "fierce resistance".

The Russians dug on multi -level defense borders with minefields, which "caused severe damage to Ukrainian armored vehicles. " But representatives of the United States, however, also declare that these losses will not affect the planned large -scale counter -offensive of the Armed Forces. Representatives of the Western countries, in particular.

The United States expected that Ukraine would take some time, and it would have to be risked by both Ukrainian defenders and the equipment that is delivered from abroad. Recall that the Ukrainian forces eliminated more than three companies of Russian troops in the Tavriya direction. General Oleksandr Tarnavsky reported that during the Armed Forces, 57 units of military equipment of the occupiers were destroyed.
