According to NATO Admiral Rob Bauer, the Ukrainian army is pushing Russian troops back about 200 to 300 meters every day in its counter-offensive.
The Ukrainians paid a high price for this, with many deaths and injuries, he said on Saturday at the annual conference of the NATO Military Committee in Oslo. “The Russians are losing 200, 300 meters every day,” said the Dutchman.
The reason why the offensive is not progressing faster is the enormous number of Russian mines. There are minefields for miles with five to six mines per square meter holding back the Ukrainians. “You literally have to crawl forward to get through.” He also contradicted the view that the Ukrainian advance was slow because of a lack of ammunition.
Ukraine has been defending a Russian invasion for more than eighteen months. More than three months ago, Kiev started a counter-offensive and wants to break through Russian defense lines, especially in the south of the country. Moscow currently controls about 100,000 square kilometers of Ukrainian territory, including the Black Sea peninsula of Crimea, which was annexed in 2014.
