While it still maintains some combat power in reserve, it has now deployed the “main bulk” of the forces committed to the counteroffensive forces, one of the US officials said.
“The second wave of the [Ukrainian] counteroffensive has begun” on the Zaporizhzhia front, said Vladimir Rogov, a member of the Russian-installed military-civilian administration in the region.
The New York Times was first to report on the commitment of additional Ukrainian forces to the counteroffensive.
Zelensky said last week that one reason for the slow progress of the counteroffensive was its later-than-planned start.
However, some Ukrainian military officials have recently noted that Russia’s advantage in electronic warfare has blunted the effectiveness of drone operations.
