The head of the US State Department noted that the counteroffensive could begin in the coming weeks and urged to carefully monitor developments.
Ukraine is preparing a counter-offensive in the coming weeks. The success of the Ukrainian side on the battlefield is important in the future. This was stated in an interview with Fox News journalist Ben Gall by United States Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, published on the website of the Department of State on Tuesday, May 2.
He commented on the question of whether the situation on the battlefield in Ukraine has reached a “dead end”. The American official noted that the plans of the Russian Federation had already failed. The official also urged to closely monitor the progress of Ukraine’s future counter-offensive.
“Russia has failed in the sense that their original intention was to wipe Ukraine off the map, subjugate it to Russia, destroy it as an independent state. In the end, their victory on the battlefield was the best and perhaps the fastest path to negotiations that will ensure a just and sustainable peace,” he concluded.
Recall that the Minister of Defense of Ukraine, Oleksiy Reznikov, said that the social expectations of the Ukrainian counteroffensive were somewhat overheated. It will be known immediately from the news.
In turn, the spokesperson of the Defense Forces of the South of Ukraine, Natalya Gumenyuk, assured that the counter-offensive of the Ukrainian army is already underway and is gradually destroying the remnants of the Russian invaders.
