The general in charge of Ukraine's stuttering counter-offensive in the south has said Russian defences are making it difficult for military equipment, including Western tanks and armoured vehicles, to move forward.

Gen Oleksandr Tarnavskyi says his forces are struggling to overcome multi-layered minefields and fortified defensive lines.

So far there's little evidence that Western supplied tanks and armoured vehicles have been able to tip the balance decisively in Ukraine's favour.

I can't believe the general in charge of the counter-offensive has got it so badly wrong, isn't telling us the counter-offensive is going well and doing better than anyone expected.

But I guess he's not a propagandist shill, a liar who would just make shit up to pretend things are going better than they are.
