Russia is not ready for Ukraine's counter -offensive, the last three days have shown it - CNN

Defense Minister Alexei Reznikov said that the preparation was coming to an end, and President Zelensky assured that the counter -offensive would take place, but did not name the DAT. It may have already begun, it may start in a few weeks. In turn, Moscow is at the stage of "fights in the bar before closing the establishment".

"After the loss of Kharkiv region and Kherson, they were preparing for the next possible purpose of the counter -offensive of Ukraine - Zaporizhzhya region for seven months," the journalists said. They were really preparing, the network of trenches dug out of the Russians is visible from space, but this visibility of defense constructions in 2023 is not always equal to efficiency.

"They are big, yes, but they also see them on Google, which is not good for them in the era of high -precision missiles and rapid promotion of armored vehicles," the publication reads. But the fact that the Russian Federation is not ready for the Armed Forces counter -offensive indicates the events of the last three days. First, the dismissal of the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation from the logistics part of Mikhail Mizintsev.

The Russian defense department did not explain such a personnel permutation, but simply approved Alexei Kuzmenko in a new position. The Mariupol butcher had enough miscalculations. But it was released right now when Ukraine is preparing a counter -offensive, and it is a signal of confusion in which the Kremlin leadership is located. The leader of mercenaries Yevhen Prigogin also distinguished himself.

He chose Sunday for his next long interview, in which he undoubtedly told all the difficulties that his wards face. According to Prigogine, Wagner PEC is a shortage of ammunition that can leave Bakhmut, a strategically not important city, for which the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have put thousands of lives. By the way, Prigogine is not the most reliable information source and does not provide confirmation of its words.

But such public criticism is not quite what Moscow is needed at such an important time. The fact that the reserves of ammunition in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation end is known for a long time. But a statement that implies the inevitability of failure before the counter -offensive begins as an attempt to lift yourself responsibility. Now, a few hours before Ukrainian troops can go forward, practically nothing is known about the emotional state and goals of the Armed Forces.
