According to AFP, ground fighting on the Ukrainian front has recently frozen, despite a major counter-offensive launched by Ukrainian forces at the beginning of June this year. This has so far led to only limited territorial gains. On the other hand, in recent weeks, the Russian army launched a counterattack around the cities of Avdijivka in the Donetsk region and Kupjansk in the Kharkiv region, but also without significant gains.
“No, the conflict is not at a dead end,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said. According to him, Russia is “relentlessly continuing its special military operation,” as Moscow officially calls its invasion of Ukraine, which began on February 24, 2022. Peskov added that Russian troops will continue until they “achieve all set goals.”

Zaluzhny previously wrote in a post that “the war is now entering a new phase: what in the military we call a ‘positional’ war with static and exhausting battles, as in the First World War”. There probably won’t be any spectacular breakthrough, he says.
General Zaluzhny also noted that the Ukrainian army needs to receive air support in particular. According to analysts, his contribution was intended, among other things, to remind Kiev’s Western allies, who are now focused on the conflict between Israel and the Palestinian radical movement Hamas, of the importance of further support for Ukraine.
