A Soviet-style approach to war might be holding back Ukraine's counteroffensive against Russia.
US officials told The New York Times that Ukrainian forces were evenly allocating their resources.
Ukraine has continued to pour resources into eastern areas such as Bakhmut, baffling US officials.

Ukraine's counteroffensive against Russia is stalling and Western officials are struggling to convince the country to break with tradition and move resources to where they're needed most.
