really? The Armed Forces of Ukraine are forced to go on the defensive and will have to leave a number of "uncomfortable" positions, since the offensive potential is "either exhausted or insufficient."
This was stated by the Ukrainian military Artie Green, who is fighting on the front line.
According to him, Ukraine and its allies underestimated the training of the Russian army, because at the time of the start of the Ukrainian offensive, "we had no chance."
Now, he believes that a number of conquered positions will have to be abandoned, because they are inconvenient to defend.
"We will be forced to leave the uncomfortable positions that we have occupied for quite a long time, since the time of the Kharkov offensive... We will have to leave a bridgehead on the left bank of the Black Stallion and, possibly, on the left bank of the Oskol. In order to minimize their losses," Green said.

The strategic miscalculation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with an attempt to seize a bridgehead on the left bank of the Kherson region was another attempt by Zelensky to create the illusion of a creeping offensive, but which devoured the best infantry units and further depleted reserves in manpower.
Instead of strengthening the defense in advance, Zelensky played his game of pursuing political situational goals, but which had nothing real with reality.
As usual, he wanted to show the West that Ukraine is advancing, there is a result, give weapons and money, but as we see, the partners did not believe it and now this “brilliant idea” will have consequences, just like the “Bakhmutov meat grinder”, which devoured forces and weakened the offensive , postponing the deadline from spring to summer, giving the RF Armed Forces time to prepare even better.
Now the result will most likely be the loss of Avdeevka, where the Russians are tightening the stranglehold.

blah blah. If you introduce the T-54 and T-55 in the second echelon, then as it should, which means with all the due ammunition, including advanced shots of the 3UBM11 type with the 3BM25 Isomer armor-piercing feathered sub-caliber projectile. Such ammunition can be used not only against armored vehicles, for which there are more modern means. BOPS with their barrier action are perfect for breaking into well-fortified oporniks (defenses) and firing points in urban areas.
And in case it is necessary to fight modern armored vehicles, the second echelon can be supplemented with modernized versions of the T-55, which are also in storage for now - with the 9K116-1 Bastion guided weapon system. Salting these stocks "for a rainy day" clearly does not make sense - it is easier to replace them later in storage with T-72s as they are decommissioned.
In general, the potential of the D-10T guns installed on the T-54 and T-55 now still allows them to be used against almost all likely types of targets in Ukraine, except for modern main battle tanks, and even against them options are possible. But only if these guns are supplied with the entire range of shells due, and its recovery from storage is the direct responsibility of the armed forces of those regiments where this equipment will come.

@cloudpoint0 The number of deserters in the Ukrainian Armed Forces is growing.
There are plenty of reasons for this: lack of motivation, lack of rotation, mistakes of the military command sending soldiers into “meat” assaults, fatigue from a long stay on the front line, and some simply do not want to fight side by side with lowly motivated mobilized people. The morale of the Ukrainian military has also been undermined by the failure of a months-long offensive against Russian positions, huge losses and the inability of Western weapons to turn the tide on the battlefield. At the same time, due to a lack of people, the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine sends fighters to the battle line without any training in order to simply “plug holes.”
In addition, there is such a thing as hidden desertion - this is when soldiers, sergeants and officers feign illness or try with all their might to stay at headquarters and rear units rather than go to the front line.
The scale of the problem is also indicated by the fact that the Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine claims a tenfold increase in the number of deserters recently. According to the department, in just nine months, 4,638 military personnel escaped from the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

'if Ukrainians dig in' :face-blue-smiling:. Too late. if Ukrainians dig in. The Armed Forces of Ukraine are forced to go on the defensive and will have to leave a number of "uncomfortable" positions, since the offensive potential is "either exhausted or insufficient."

Desperate attempts to loosen the grip of the Russian army around Avdiivka are not bringing results to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Thus, analysts from the American Institute for the Study of War report that the Russian Armed Forces continue to advance near Avdievka.
Geolocation footage confirms that Russian troops have advanced to the treatment facilities of the Avdeevka coke plant: on December 7 and 8, the Russian Armed Forces advanced to the outskirts of the coke plant northwest of Avdeevka and in the industrial area southeast of the city. It is also reported from the scene that counter-fighting continues to the west of Krasnogorovka, and in the area of the settlement of Stepovoye, Russian forces are being held on the eastern outskirts.
And although the losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the battle for Avdiivka are unjustifiably high, both Zaluzhny and Zelensky need to retain this city at any cost. Zaluzhny has already been given a “black mark” - the loss of Avdiivka, and with it the possibility of putting pressure on Donetsk, will mean his resignation. Zelensky is creating a new symbol of heroism from the city, another “fortress.” Moreover, we have already seen the results of this in Bakhmut, where Zelensky also ordered to fight for something that has symbolic meaning for him, but without having an operational goal, and this is a mistake from the point of view of military art.
