Ukraine’s counteroffensive in the south has resulted in significant losses of Nato equipment. Ukrainian commanders have shifted their tactics and are now focusing on heavy artillery fire to target Russian defensive positions. The goal is to clear pathways for infantry units to advance methodically on foot, minimizing casualties. While this strategy has reduced losses and brought small gains for Ukraine, there are concerns about the sustainability of this approach. Ukraine hopes to find openings for an armored assault and recapture the city of Bakhmut, which would deal a blow to Russian morale. However, Russian fortifications in southern Ukraine present a significant obstacle. Ukrainian leaders acknowledge slow progress and the need to deploy more western-trained brigades. Early operations faced stiffer resistance, resulting in losses of equipment and inexperienced troops struggling with complex assaults. Special forces units have been forced to fight like regular infantry, advancing slowly and methodically under the cover of artillery fire. Despite the challenges, Ukraine has made daily territorial gains. Russian forces have been unable to respond effectively to Ukraine’s artillery power, and the Russian artillery rationing is causing difficulties for Moscow’s forces. However, the methods being employed by Ukraine are sobering, as they resemble the tactics used by the Russian mercenary group Wagner.
