A Soviet-style approach to war might be holding back Ukraine's counteroffensive against Russia.
US officials told The New York Times that Ukrainian forces were evenly allocating their resources.
Ukraine has continued to pour resources into eastern areas such as Bakhmut, baffling US officials.
Unnamed US officials told The New York Times that Ukraine needed to focus its counteroffensive resources on southern Ukraine, as they have been spreading equipment and troops too widely and to little effect .
The problem is that Ukraine — like Russia — fights under an old Communist doctrine that seeks to limit infighting between military divisions by evenly dividing resources, the Times reported.
