Fighting at Donbass shows that Ukraine is likely to continue to suffer losses and it is difficult to regain lost lands as declared.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on the night of July 3 acknowledged that the Ukrainian army had withdrawn from Lysychansk, the last country controlled by the country in the Eastern Lugansk province, but announced it would regain the city thanks to Phuong's long -range weapon.

However, some Western experts believe that this is increasingly difficult with the current battlefield.

Despite the confidence statements of Ukrainian and Western officials, what happened on the Donbass Front, the area of Lugansk and Donetsk in eastern Ukraine, showed that Ukraine did not have much hope for gaining advantages in battle battle.

The Russian army began to focus troops for the Donbasss front in mid -April, after withdrawing from the outskirts of Kiev capital and northern Ukraine.

Many Western officials often describe Russia's progress as' small 'and' slow ', but if they look at the panoramic view, they can describe the Russian forces' militaries that are methodical and non -stop.

In this process, the biggest loss with Ukraine is not lost territories, but the casualties of experienced and best trained units on the Donbass battlefield.

Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser of the President of Ukraine, said on June 9 that the casualties of the country were about 100-200 soldiers a day, while Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov said that Ukraine lost 100 soldiers every day and every day and

The Ukrainian side did not make any decisive breakthrough in Donbass.

Ukraine initially aims to train and deploy more brigades with new equipment before August this year.

It is unknown whether these brigades have been established or not, not to mention whether they are likely to go to the front line, Oliphant added.

In addition to big casualties, the Ukrainian army also lost many weapons in the war in the East.

The amount of heavy weapons handed over by the West or committed to transferring to Kiev only accounts for a small part of the real needs of this country, most likely not to compensate for the great damage that the Ukrainian army suffers during the time.

General Volodymyr Karpenko, commander of the Ukrainian Army Logistics, in mid -June revealed that the country lost 50% of heavy weapons, including more than 2,000 armored tanks and firecrackers.

Sloviansk, Kramatorsk can become the next target of Russia in East Ukraine.

The scholar Davis said that Russia also suffered damage in Donbass, but with a much lower level than Ukraine, because the Russian military has drawn lessons from the early stages, the time they use large -scale attacks equal to the equal scale.

Now, Russia advocates to fight slowly but firmly, using artillery and air force to cover the army, paving the way for the infantry to gradually expand control, in parallel with the effort to attack the logistics routes of Ukraine to do to do

Ukrainian officials said that Russian artillery overwhelmed its forces 10 times.

These advantages are decisive, allowing the Russian military to win many parts of the territory in eastern Ukraine.

Davak Arakhamia, Ukrainian negotiating team leader, predicted dialogue with Russia could be resumed at the end of August, after the Ukrainian forces organized a series of counterattack campaigns.

However, Western military experts said that Ukraine could hardly open a large -scale attack and soon entered the city of Kherson, despite reaching some success in this area.

The idea suggested that the Ukrainian army could block Russian troops and open a counterattack campaign without real basis.

President Zelensky and his advisers constantly made tough statements, confirming that they would not give in to any territory to Russia.

However, Shannon Vavra, a commentator about Daily Beast's national security, said that this strategy could push Mr. Zelensky and the Ukrainian leaders into a subsidence pit, where they were stuck between calculations on the main calculations of the main.

Ukraine still controlled Kharkov, Odessa and many areas in Donetsk province, but it is likely that Russia will occupy the entire region at the end of the summer if the fight continues.

Lysychansk allowed Russia to consolidate forces in Lugansk province to advance to Donetsk, causing Ukraine to face the risk of losing the entire Donbass region.

Control Lysychansk, the Russian force has an important pedal to continue the west, towards Sloviansk and Kramatorsk of Ukraine.
