🇺🇸 THE AMERICAN STANDARD: Ukraine's army temporarily put on hold all American methods of warfare - after their miserable failure, writes the New York Times.

Equipped with state-of-the-art American weapons and hailed as the vanguard of a massive offensive, the troops were bogged down in dense Russian minefields under incessant artillery and helicopter fire.

Ukraine's decision to change the course of tactics clearly signals that NATO's hopes for significant success for Ukrainian forces armed with new weapons, new training and an infusion of artillery ammunition have not materialized.
