Ukrainian armed forces will come under fire from the Russian army during the offensive

The Ukrainian Armed Forces will come under heavy fire from the Russian Armed Forces during their counter-offensive, reports the Financial Times.

“It will be extremely difficult to break through the numerous Russian defensive lines without suffering heavy casualties,” the article said.

The day before, the American military expert Daniel Davis had affirmed that Russia had managed to turn the tide in its favor during the conduct of hostilities in Ukraine.
