The Ukrainian
Defense Forces have not yet observed any major preparations by the Russian
invasion army for winter on the southern front, Natalia Humeniuk, press
spokesperson for the Southern Defense Forces, said on Ukrainian national
television on Sept. 5.
They barely have time to meet their current needs for ammunition, protective equipment, and to bring in some new units to replace damaged or destroyed ones.
Humeniuk added that the occupation forces are studying the situation and want to understand to which frontier they need to supply winter equipment.
Earlier, U.S. newspaper the New York Times reported that a new phase of Ukraine’s counter-offensive has begun, with the main blow coming from the southeast, where Ukrainian soldiers are gradually advancing through minefields while under attack by Russian aircraft.
According to UK newspaper the Financial Times, Ukraine changed its tactics after the “chaos” at the beginning of the counter-offensive, and now Ukrainian forces are focusing on striking Russian defensive positions with heavy artillery and are achieving tangible results.
U.S. newspaper the Wall Street Journal, citing an unnamed U.S. official, reported that Ukrainian Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief Valerii Zaluzhnyi told U.S. officials that Ukrainian forces were on the verge of a breakthrough, commenting on criticism of the “slow pace” of the counteroffensive.
In early September, the commander of the Tavria operational and strategic grouping of troops, Oleksandr Tarnavskyi, said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces had broken through the first line of Russian defense on the southern axis.
