Ukrainian Armed Forces Complain About Russian Minefields: FT

The extensive and dense minefields laid by Russian forces are undermining the morale of Ukrainian soldiers involved in offensive operations, damaging numerous Western-supplied military vehicles, and halting advances, reports the Financial Times, which spoke with several Ukrainian military personnel.

No military obstacle is as frightening as the vast and dense minefields of Russia, which destroy NATO-supplied armored vehicles and injure soldiers. “We can attack with ten brigades, but it won’t work because the mines are everywhere, mines are every half meter,” quotes the publication the words of the commander of the 78th Brigade of the Ukrainian special operations unit, nicknamed “Sultan,” who has been injured by a mine and is currently in a field hospital.
