“Ukrainian troops ... of course, face their own problems.

They have high losses, many of them are not trained enough,” RIA Novosti reports, citing a source from The Financial Times.

The newspaper also noted the successful actions of the commander of the grouping of Russian troops in the special operation zone in Ukraine, General of the Army Sergei Surovikin.

Journalists came to the conclusion that his tactics reduced the chances of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for a successful offensive in the south by strengthening the front line and transferring troops from Kherson.
