Reznikov:

Ukraine's counteroffensive is behind schedule, but going according to plan.

The opinion that every counteroffensive must be fast is false.

The advance is slower, because the West gave little weapons, especially artillery and shells.

Russian troops have serious security zones with mines and it is very difficult to break through.
