JAKARTA - Ukrainian Military Commander Oleksandr Syrskyi claims Russia's spring and summer attacks this year failed to achieve its goals. Russia is said to have fired twice as many artillery as Ukraine on the battlefield.
"It can be said that Russia's spring and summer military operations have been effectively disrupted," Syrskyi said.
Syrskyi said Russia's plans to create "barrier zones" in the Sumy and Kharkiv regions, capturing the city of Pokrovsk and taking control of the entire Donetsk region had failed.
The fight over the entire Donetsk is the main goal of war for Russia, which currently controls more than 70% of the region and continues to move forward slowly.
Syrskyi said since the start of the summer, Russia has been attacking with a tactic that he calls "a thousand cuts" of a large number of small infantry attacks.
"This tactic consists of simultaneous use of a large number of small 4-6 attack groups of soldiers who advance to take advantage of terrain, ravines and forests, with the main goal of penetrating our territory as deeply as possible," he continued.
