Pentagon chief says Ukraine needs to find points of advantage for counter-offensive

It’s incumbent upon the Ukrainians to find those points of advantage that they can leverage and exploit, Lloyd Austin, the United States Secretary of Defense, said while responding to a query on the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict. 

"It’s been widely reported that Russia has constructed defenses along the border of the occupied territory. And those defenses, in many cases, are defenses in depth. So we see several lines of fortifications, ditches, dragon’s teeth prepared positions, those kinds of things. In some cases, it’s a fairly significant preparation there, but I would say that they have to defend against a pretty significant across a pretty significant area. So they probably can’t be strong in every place. It’s incumbent upon the Ukrainians to find those points of advantage that they can leverage and exploit. So, we’ll see what happens,” Austin said.
