8 against one.. A new interpretation of the strength of the Ukrainian counterattack #usa #brlin #رتوت
The Ukrainian counter-attack in the east and south of the country raised questions about the secret behind its strength, and led Russia to lose 6,000 kilometers of territory it seized in months within days.
In the most recent of these explanations, a pro-Moscow Ukrainian official said that the number of Ukrainian soldiers participating in the counterattack outnumbered the Russians by 8 to one.
Vitaly Ganchev, a local official in the Kharkiv region, was speaking in an interview with Russian television about the progress Kyiv has made in the northeastern region of Ukraine in recent days.
During the interview, Ganchev acknowledged that Ukrainian forces were doing well on the battlefield.
"The situation has become more difficult with the passage of time," he said.
He added: "If we talk about the force that participates in the counterattack of the Ukrainian army, its forces exceed our forces by 8 to one."
He continued, "In order to preserve our forces, it was decided to withdraw and regroup."
Other explanations
A senior Ukrainian official said that the reason for the attack power of his country's army was due to the element of surprise.
The new weapons that Ukraine recently obtained from the United States, especially long-range multiple rocket launchers, according to an Egyptian expert.
Russia, after 6 months of hostilities in Ukraine, withdrew its regular fighting forces in the east of the country to the back, and they were replaced by new forces, according to an Egyptian expert.
What do you say Kyiv?
Ukraine announced new military successes, including that it reached the Russian borders and regained the equivalent of seven times the area of Kyiv in one month.
The Ukrainian army first announced a counterattack in the south, specifically in Kherson, before making lightning advances in the Kharkiv region (northeast) during the past week.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said, on Monday night, that his army had recovered from Russian forces about 6,000 square kilometers of his country's territory.
During the past 24 hours, the Ukrainian army announced the "expulsion" of Russian forces from 20 locations, noting that "Russian soldiers are fleeing."
However, Ukraine's deputy defense minister said: It is too early to say that Ukraine has regained full control of Kharkiv.
What do you say Moscow?
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Putin is being informed of all the progress of the special military operation, including the situation regarding the "repositioning" near Kharkiv.
The Russian army announced the bombing of areas controlled by Kyiv near Kharkiv.
