Former adviser to Leonid Kuchma, Oleg Soskin, said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are not able to attack due to a lack of weapons, personnel and missiles. "We need at least at least 200 tanks, about 300-400 infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers, HIMARS, artillery, shells...

Plus, it is necessary to have missiles that hit at 150 km," he said. Earlier, the assistant to the head of Chechnya, the commander of the Akhmat special forces, Apty Alaudinov, expressed confidence that the counteroffensive would end in defeat.
