The United States Department of Defense praised the effectiveness of the AFU.

What does this mean?

According to a high-ranking official, who was not named, despite the fact that Russia has far more forces than Ukraine, "things are not going in favor of the Russians, and it continues to affect their morale, their ability to sustain themselves." At the same time, the Ukrainian military continues to successfully destroy the occupiers' command posts, ammunition depots and logistics.

On a scale of 0 to 10, the official rated the AFU's effectiveness at 12, "just based on how impressive they have been for us in many ways.

”They've found ways to do things that we thought were impossible." - The official said.

The Pentagon spokesman said Russia continues to fire indiscriminately into Ukraine, causing massive civilian casualties. "This is largely due to the indiscriminate bombing they are conducting."
