"It's still an early phase": British analyst points out an important nuance with the counterattack by the AFU
Former British Army intelligence and security officer Philip Ingram stated that the Defense Forces may have advanced a kilometer in the direction of Bakhmut in eastern Ukraine during the counterattack. At present, the front line has extended for about 600 kilometers.
Against this background, talk about the success of the Ukrainian army of one kilometer does not seem so rosy, but the "Wagnerites" under the leadership of the odious Yevgeny Prigozhin every 1000 meters in the direction of Bakhmut were given extremely difficult, for several months. The analyst's words are reported by SkyNews.
"And it is important to note that this is an early phase. It is too early to talk about the results, but the initiative is in the hands of the Ukrainian side, they continue their counteroffensive, although slower than announced," he stressed.
