"Ukraine's Counteroffensive Stalls: Lessons for India and the U.S."

Ukraine's counteroffensive against Russian forces has stalled, with the campaign becoming a war of incremental gains. The Ukrainian troops, equipped with Western weapons, faced unexpected challenges such as dense minefields and relentless antitank missile attacks. The use of drones by both sides has also complicated the battlefield, hindering significant advances. The Ukrainian and U.S. commanders have clashed over tactics and strategy, with each side blaming the other for mistakes. Despite months of planning and Western military aid, Ukraine has only retaken a small amount of territory at a high cost in casualties and equipment.
