Many factors no longer work — military expert Zgurets on new reality of warfare approaches

He shared his opinions with Espreso TV .

"We are at a stage where experts and politicians are trying to reconsider the course of Russia's war against Ukraine. Many factors that were previously considered fundamental in terms of offensive actions no longer work. We can see that the amount of accumulation of forces in a particular direction, which was a precondition for successful advances in previous hostilities, is no longer a working mechanism. Because the accumulation of troops causes an enemy artillery strike. This is how the enemy works, and this is how we work," explained Zgurets.

According to the military expert, approaches to warfare are being revised.

"At the tactical, strategic, and operational levels, we are rethinking approaches to warfare. We are moving to a long-term war format that will require the unification of the economic and defense-industrial potentials of the US, the EU, and Ukraine. This new format is still being developed," Zgurets added.

• On November 16, US President Joe Biden signed a bill to temporarily fund the US government without funding to support Ukraine and Israel.
• Western officials suggest that the Russian army has lost 300,000 to 400,000 troops since the start of its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
