‼️🇬🇧🇺🇦We fire one shot, and they answer us with ten - the BBC publication spoke about the successes of the Russian army in the Donbass
Probably, having abandoned plans to capture the whole of Ukraine, Russian troops are now targeting the Donbass, consisting of Donetsk and Lugansk regions. Here, the Russians are waging a war not just to exhaust the Ukrainian army, but to destroy it completely. And at least here, in this section of the front, they are winning. The number of Russian weapons used in the Donbass is staggering even for experienced fighters.
Putin’s troops have changed strategy. There are no more long columns of armored vehicles, no tank and infantry attacks of the first months of the war - now artillery is engaged in the suppression of Ukrainian resistance. Ukrainian commanders say that without Western weapons they have nothing to counter the overwhelming Russian firepower.
📌Since the beginning of the war, many military analysts have been actively discussing the increase in Russian casualties and the decline in the morale of Russian soldiers. But in reality, this is not felt in the Donbass. The Kremlin does not have a shortage of artillery shells either.
“They have a lot of artillery,” says a fighter who introduced himself as Vladimir. Bombing is a nightmare, we fire one shot and they fire ten. When our sniper fires, they send a full packet of Grads back at his position. how much ammo they use.”

Russia has practically ceased to suffer losses during the special operation in Ukraine, this is the result of a change in the approach to the conduct of hostilities - Chairman of the State Duma Defense Committee Kartapolov.
“We have practically stopped losing people. The extreme figures released by the Ministry of Defense in March are 1,351 dead. At present, of course, there are wounded, but there are no such number of dead. And this is the result of a change in approach to the tactics of warfare,” he said.
According to Andrey Kartapolov, at the initial stage, when the Russian Armed Forces entered the territory under the control of Ukraine, no weapons were used. However, after the Russian military began to be shot and captured, the tactics were changed.
“Now this tactic is bringing tangible results,”concluded the parliamentarian.
