Dem Ukrainian troops wey di West train don jam for wawa inside battle. E show say dem don sidon put U.S. way to fight for one side, dey use di kain style dem sabi pass.
Wen di Ukraine counteroffensive start, e no sweet for dem Ukrainian soldiers wey US and dia padi dem don train and give beta weapons.๐ซ๐ซ
Na ogbonge American weapons dem equip these soldiers with, and everybodi think say dem go just carry lead for front, but as tins dey now, na inside heavy Russian mines dem just dey waka, dey collect better fire from gun and helecopters. Some groups no even sabi road sef. One group come delay to attack for night till day break, come lose upper hand. Another one just waka anyhow so tey commanders come pull dem out.๐๐
Now, these Ukrainian groups wey West train dey try rearrange, na wetin U.S. oga dem and analysts dey yan. Ukrainian military leaders don change style; dem wan dey use their artillery and long missiles dey chop down di Russian forces instead of dey run enter mines dey collect shots.๐๐ฏ
Dem don dey move plenty troops go south side, with another set of West-trained soldiers wey dey start small-small attack to break through Russian side. But di results so far no too show. Even though dem don retake some small villages, dem never get the kind win wey dem get for cities like Kherson and Kharkiv before. Di kain Western training dem give these Ukrainians no dey help dem as dem just dey collect Russian attacks anyhow.๐๐ก๏ธ
Ukraine way to change style dey show say NATO hope for big win from Ukrainian soldiers with new weapons and training no just dey happen as e suppose, at least for now.
E dey make people dey wonder whether the training wey dem give these Ukrainians dey kajad or if di weapons wey dem collect, including di big money wey come from Biden administration, don really help Ukrainian military become beta fighters like NATO.
Ukraine way to fight back their territory dey make dem fight in new ways. Dem West-trained groups only get like four to six weeks of training, and dem make many mistakes when di counteroffensive start for early June, na wetin U.S. officials and analysts wey go front lines come dey yan.
Plenty times dem no follow cleared paths, come dey hit mines. Some groups fail to attack on time, the other ones wey suppose to help cover them with shots just dey fire anyhow. For di first two weeks, nearly 20% of di weapons Ukraine carry come battle come spoil or scatter, based on wetin U.S. and European ogas dey yan. ๐ ๏ธ๐ฅ
Military people talk say to use new tactics for the first time no go easy, especially as Russia decide to defend and dey throw heavy shots. โDem just give them big assignment,โ na so Rob Lee, wey sabi about Russian military tins for Foreign Policy Research Institute talk.
Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky talk last month say dem plan to start the fightback since spring, but no gree because dem no get enough weapons and properly trained soldiers. He come add join say dem start late so Russia get chance to set plenty mines and defense lines.
Ukraine fit return to the American way of fight if dem fit break through Russian defenses. But analysts dey doubt whether this second wave of attack, with small-small units, go fit get enough power to allow Ukrainian soldiers to break through Russian side.
Wetin U.S. officials talk be say, Ukrainian troops don dey clear some of the Russian defenses and dey reduce their soldiers and artillery. General Breedlove agree with am say he still believe say Ukrainian fight back go put Russia for disadvantage.
He talk say, โThe Ukrainians dey where dem wan dey now, dem understand how dem wan use their soldiers. And we dey see now say Russians dey move back small small.โ๐ถ๐

๐บ๐ฆ๐ฅ Ukrainian Soldiers Schooled by the West? They Hittinโ Some Roadblocks in Battle.
Aight, so those Ukrainian troops that got all their training from the West? Looks like they’re hittin’ some snags. For a minute, theyโve been pushing that U.S. fight style to the side, opting to roll with what they know deep down.
At the jump of Ukraine’s big pushback, things ain’t looking so smooth for the squads that the U.S. and their squad equipped and put on game. ๐ซ๐ซ
Armed to the teeth with them high-tech American toys, everyone thought they’d be leading the pack. But instead, they got stuck in thick Russian territory, catching heat from all them big guns and choppers. Some squads even got twisted around. And get this, one squad decided to chill and pushed their nighttime move to daylight, giving away the whole surprise. Another squad couldn’t cut it and had to fall back from the action. ๐๐
Now, word from U.S. insiders and folks watching from the sidelines is that these Western-taught Ukrainian groups are switching up the play. They ain’t just diving into dangerous spots no more; they’re leaning more on big guns and missiles from a distance to tap the Russian side. ๐๐ฏ
Down south, theyโre stacking their players, with a fresh crew ready to make those calculated hits on the Russian side. But it’s still all up in the air. They’ve taken back a few blocks, but ain’t touching the major wins they had in places like Kherson and Kharkiv before. ๐๐ก๏ธ
Them changing their moves like this? Tells everyone that NATO’s big dreams for the Ukrainian crew, all geared up and trained, ainโt fully coming to life.
All this got folks side-eyeing the training Ukrainians got from the West. And theyโre asking if dropping mad stacks on all those weapons, especially the chunk that came from the Biden crew, really made the Ukrainian forces tight.
The whole plan to get their land back got Ukrainians switching gears. Those trained by the West? They only got a quick minute, like four to six weeks, of real-deal training. And word is, they fumbled right out the gate when they started pushing back in early June, based on the scoop from U.S. heads and folks who were out there. ๐ ๏ธ๐ฅ
Some of them didnโt stick to the game plan, getting caught in all them traps. Communication? They dropped the ball. Some went off before they were supposed to, tipping off the opposition. In just the first couple weeks, almost a fifth of Ukraine’s gear that they brought to the front got messed up, according to the U.S. and European insiders.
Rolling with fresh tactics ainโt ever easy, especially when you’re going up against a team like Russia that’s just sitting tight and raining down on you.
Ukraineโs top dog, President Volodymyr Zelensky, kept it 100 last month, saying their push against the Russian crew isnโt moving as fast as they thought.
He said they wanted to kick things off in spring, but had to pump the brakes because they weren’t stocked up right and didnโt have enough squads ready with the new gear. He spilled that taking their time gave Russia a chance to set up their game even stronger.
Some experts think Ukraine might slide back to that U.S. style if they can crack the Russian defense. But the streets are talking, and theyโre wondering if this new move, with smaller teams, will really have the strength to break through.
Still, U.S. bigwigs noticed that lately, Ukrainian forces have been making moves, clearing some Russian obstacles and putting the pressure on their manpower and artillery.
General Breedlove threw in his two cents, saying he’s still betting on the Ukrainian side to shake things up.
His take? “Ukrainians are getting the hang of it. And slowly but surely, weโre peeping the Russians taking steps back.” ๐ถ๐

๐บ๐ฆ๐ฅ West-Trained Ukrainian Soldiers Face Challenges in Battle
The Ukrainian troops trained by Western forces are facing unexpected setbacks. They’ve momentarily set aside U.S. combat techniques and are now using tactics they’re more familiar with.
The onset of Ukraine’s counteroffensive didn’t go smoothly for the Ukrainian units trained and equipped by the U.S. and its allies. ๐ซ๐ซ
Armed with state-of-the-art American weapons, they were expected to lead the offensive. However, they ended up trapped in dense Russian minefields, constantly under fire from artillery and helicopters. Some units got disoriented, and one delayed their night raid until daylight, forfeiting their advantage. Another performed so poorly that it was pulled out from the frontline. ๐๐
Now, according to U.S. officials and independent analysts, these Western-trained Ukrainian brigades are attempting to adjust their strategy. Instead of rushing into mined areas, they’re now focusing on weakening the Russian forces using artillery and long-range missiles. ๐๐ฏ
A significant movement of troops is occurring towards the south, where a fresh batch of Western-trained forces are initiating smaller attacks to break through Russian defenses. But the outcome is still uncertain. Although they have regained a few villages, they haven’t achieved the significant victories seen in cities like Kherson and Kharkiv previously. ๐๐ก๏ธ
Ukraine’s shift in tactics indicates that NATO’s aspirations for the Ukrainian units, equipped with new weapons and training, have not been fully realized.
This shift has raised doubts about the quality of the training Ukrainians received and if the substantial weaponry provided, including a significant amount from the Biden administration, was effective in elevating the Ukrainian military to NATO standards.
Ukraine’s strategy to reclaim its territory has compelled them to adapt. The Western-trained units only had a short four to six weeks of combined training, leading to some early mistakes when the counteroffensive began in early June, according to U.S. officials and analysts who’ve been on the ground. ๐ ๏ธ๐ฅ
There were instances where they didn’t stick to cleared paths, leading them straight into mines. Coordination issues also arose, with some support units firing prematurely. Within the first two weeks, almost 20% of Ukraine’s weaponry brought to the frontline was either damaged or destroyed, as reported by U.S. and European sources.
Using newly learned tactics is always challenging, especially when faced with an opponent like Russia that adopted a defensive strategy and bombarded them with heavy artillery.
President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine admitted in a recent month that their counteroffensive against entrenched Russian troops was advancing at a slower pace than anticipated.
He mentioned that they had initially planned to start the operation earlier in the spring but had to delay due to a lack of ammunition and adequately trained brigades. He also noted that this delay allowed Russia to heavily mine the territories and establish strong defense lines.
Some experts believe that Ukraine might revert to the American way of warfare if they can successfully penetrate the Russian defenses. However, analysts are skeptical about whether this new approach, involving smaller units, will have the required force to break through Russian fortifications.
Nevertheless, U.S. officials have observed that in recent times, Ukrainian troops have made progress, clearing some Russian defenses and depleting their manpower and artillery. General Breedlove concurred with this sentiment, maintaining his belief that Ukraine’s counterstrategy will eventually put Russia on the back foot.
He stated, “The Ukrainians are now in a position where they understand their strengths. We’re starting to see the Russians retreat, even if it’s just a bit.” ๐ถ๐
