• In an editorial published by the British magazine The Economist, the chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, General Valery Zaluzhnyi, said he believed his army was in a static positional war, implying that Kyiv’s summer offensive had failed.
• “The war is now entering a new phase: what we in the Army call ‘positional’ warfare, consisting of static fighting and attrition,” he wrote in that editorial, which warned that the battlefront could soon be withdrawn from the trenches of the First World War.
• Zaluzhnyi believes that the situation at the front has reached an impasse, where neither side can advance, since both are equally equipped from a technological point of view. According to him, the stalemate on the battlefield only helps Russia restore its military power. In this regard, General Zaluzhnyi emphasizes that Ukraine needs airplanes first of all.
