For the Russian army, a difficult situation has developed under the Ugleder, associated not only with a large number of losses. The Russians failed the assault and took up positions that are extremely disadvantageous to hold, as a result of the artillery of the Armed Forces of Ukraine shooting Russians from a distance, not letting go closer. The former FSB officer Igor Strelkov (Girkin) writes about this in his Telegram channel.
“There is no promotion, the situation for our parts is difficult, since the positions they occupy are extremely disadvantageous for their retention, but it is forbidden to retreat from them, but it is not possible to advance forward,” he writes.
Girkin emphasizes that the Russians got into the “meat grinder” and suffer heavy losses, unlike the Armed Forces of Ukraine, whose positions are much more profitable.
