US Congress names critical vulnerabilities of the Ukrainian Armed Forces

Elena Panina (Елена Панина)

The US Congress Research Service has updated the report "Indicators and Prospects of the Ukrainian Army". The following problems of the Ukrainian Armed Forces have been named:

Large personnel losses among regular units and special forces, most recruits have poor training.
Significant losses in equipment; Soviet-style weapons lack ammunition, spare parts and local repair capabilities; Central and Eastern European defence capabilities cannot provide this sufficiently.
Heavy reliance on Western artillery and Western ammunition.
An urgent need for air defence systems to protect critical infrastructure, as well as for military mobile air defence.
Reduced effectiveness of the AFU due to Russian strikes on infrastructure and resources.
Difficulties in coordinating operations and integrating intelligence due to Russian REB and lack of reliable communications systems.

Regarding the Russian Armed Forces, the Congressional Research Service acknowledges that they "retain some advantages in equipment (particularly in artillery and long-range weapons), air support and electronic warfare.

The US assessment of the Ukrainian Armed Forces offers a good clue to the Russian army as to what it should focus on in order to significantly reduce Kiev's military capabilities.

The AFU's Achilles' heel is its shortage of heavy weapons and ammunition, critical dependence on Western supplies and logistics vulnerabilities.

Accordingly, the campaign to disable Ukraine's critical infrastructure - both energy and transport - should continue with renewed vigour.
