(MENAFN- UkrinForm) The Russian forces are currently accumulating armored vehicles on the front lines and not using them opting instead for infantry assaults.
This information was shared by Yevhen Romanov, spokesperson for the Kharkiv Operational Tactical Group, during a televised broadcast, according to Ukrinform.
"The Ukrainian Defense Forces have destroyed a vast number of enemy armored combat vehicles, leading to a shortage of this equipment. Although the enemy is attempting to repair old models, this process is slower than the rate at which these vehicles are being destroyed on the Ukrainian territory," Romanov explained.
He noted that the Russian invaders are currently trying to replenish their losses with manpower, stockpiling ammunition, and concentrating their remaining equipment in specific areas. However, despite the buildup, the Russians are not yet deploying this accumulated hardware, relying instead on infantry assaults.
"They are taking care of their equipment, unlike their personnel," Romanov emphasized.
