Several signs indicate a reduction in the enemy's offensive capabilities — decreased use of weapons and a slowdown in forward movement despite a high number of attacks.
This was stated during a television broadcast by Viktor Trehubov, head of communications for the Joint Forces Grouping, according to a Ukrinform correspondent.
"First of all, the use of various means of attack is decreasing. Secondly, if we observe the ratio between attacks and any successful actions, simply measuring them by the territories the enemy managed to occupy, this coefficient has been dropping very sharply recently. I still don't know what it will be during this offensive, but it is possible that it will approach zero or even negative numbers. This is because although the enemy is advancing in some sectors, in others they are now being forced to retreat. Therefore, the result may be completely different from what they are currently expecting," Trehubov explained.
He added that during the spring offensive, Russian forces have been unsuccessfully trying to advance in the Lyman and Kupiansk directions, while in the Velykyi Burluk direction they are already retreating.
Commenting on the situation on the left bank of the Oskil River, the spokesman said that the Defense Forces face certain problems with logistics and personnel, but the enemy has failed to create a critical situation in this section of the front.
