Ukraine used its strategic reserves for the "breakthrough" and has been provided unprecedented ammount of military equipment by the US and its NATO allies -- but its "counteroffensive" was still unsuccessful.
Ukraine is making new counteroffensive attempts, the clashes are ongoing right now, including in the Zaporozhye direction, but Kiev has no chances, Russian President Vladimir Putin said at the plebary session of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF).

The Ukrainian army already lost 186 tanks, 418 armored vehicles, and their losses are growing every day, the Russian president said on Friday.

At the same time, Russia's defense industry enterprises are working in 2-3 shifts, the production of wepaons has increased by 2.7 times, and some production even surged by 10 times, Putin said.

Soon, Ukraine will stop using its equipment at all — they are fighting using foreign equipment, and that cannot go on forever, Putin added.
