New Ukrainian soldiers are encountering significant hardships on the battlefield, struggling with basic combat skills and coordination. Some have even abandoned their posts, contributing to territorial losses. Commanders attribute these issues to inadequate training and Russia's superior ammunition and air power.
Ukraine's incursion into Russia's Kursk region persists, but its troops are losing ground along the eastern front. Frustrated commanders highlight the challenges posed by poorly trained recruits drafted from a recent mobilization drive.
Although Ukraine continues to mobilize new fighters, logistical hurdles remain in training, equipping, and paying these soldiers. Commanders are trying to screen and train new recruits better to improve their effectiveness in combat situations.
