Ukraine\u2019s top commanders are refusing orders to advance against Vladimir Putin’s forces on the frontlines as their troops suffer from a lack of equipment and manpower.<\/p>\n

As winter approaches, both sides are looking for an advantage on the battlefield with Russia launching bloody offensives on the eastern front.<\/p>\n

Since June, Ukraine has been fighting fiercely in a counteroffensive which has failed to liberate large swathes of territory.<\/p>\n

One of Volodymyr Zelensky\u2019s top aides said: \u201cWe\u2019re not moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

He claimed that some top Ukrainian commanders were refusing orders to advance, some of which came directly from Zelensky.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Time, the aide said: \u201cThey just want to sit in the trenches and hold the line. But we can\u2019t win a war that way.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, a senior military officer told the outlet that many commanders could not advance even if they wanted to.<\/p>\n

The officer said: \u201cThey don\u2019t have the men or the weapons. Where are the weapons? Where is the artillery? Where are the new recruits?\u201d<\/p>\n

Although weapons and ammunition are a constant concern on the front, some units don\u2019t even have the men to use them, according to Zelensky\u2019s aide.<\/p>\n
