The Russians do not yet have the potential for large offensive operations in Eastern Ukraine. They do not have enough strength and means for this.

Military expert Petr Chernik told Channel 24 about this. According to him, the occupiers cannot carry out a large-scale offensive operation in this direction.

Ukrainians have found the pain points of the Russians

Chernik notes that 95% of this war is an artillery battle. The Ukrainian military was able to put pressure on the pain points of the Russians and partly solve the problem.

Endless cotton in their ammunition depots, command posts and communication centers significantly reduces the potential of Russian infidels, Chernik noted.

However, there is also negative news. the occupiers stopped at the captured lines and set up defensive fortifications there. Therefore, it will be difficult to knock out the invaders from the occupied territories. They can literally arrange large artillery ramparts, which so far have nothing to overcome.

In order to achieve parity, we need to increase the quality of weapons. This process is underway. But, in my opinion, it will still be quite long, – Chernik emphasized.
