Three months after the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the front is showing signs of stagnation, which is not good for Ukraine.

“The current situation can be described in one word – stagnation. On the one hand, there is enormous will and confidence, but fewer weapons on the side of the Ukrainians. On the other hand, there is a much greater concentration of weapons [held by Russia], but absolute indecisiveness and an unwillingness to wage intense hostilities. This leads to stagnation,” Kalniņš explained.

This stagnation risks prolonging the war, which is not good for Ukraine, which wants to recover the lost territories and end the war as quickly as possible.

That is why it is very important that other countries make up their minds and provide the necessary assistance to Ukraine, Kalniņš said.

He said with confidence that Ukraine will fight to recover the territories occupied by Russia even if a short-term agreement is reached.

BNN previously reported that the fighting is currently fiercest in the towns of Severodonetsk and Popasna on the Donbass front. The situation is also difficult in the city of Izyum in the Kharkiv oblast. The city is currently controlled by Russian forces.

According to information from the US military research institute The Study of War, Ukrainian forces are continuing the counterattack east from Kharkiv to cut supply lines that are feeding the Russian offensive in Donbass.

Although the Ukrainian armed forces do not report their losses, the Ukrainian president reported last week that the battles in the Donbass cost between 50 and 100 soldiers every day.

Russia is also silent about its losses. According to Ukrainian and Western data, about 29,200 Russian soldiers have been killed so far.
