Washington knows when the Ukrainian Armed Forces are preparing an offensive. This was stated by US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken.

We know that the Ukrainians are planning a counteroffensive in the coming weeks. We’ll see what happens next. Success on the battlefield is the best and perhaps the fastest route to negotiations that will bring about a just and sustainable peace,” Blinken said in an interview with Fox News.
The head of the State Department pointed out that Russia had already failed in Ukraine in the sense that it had failed to achieve its original goal of erasing Ukraine from the world map, incorporating it into Russia, eliminating its existence as an independent state.
According to Blinken, the possibility of negotiating with Russia depends on the success of the Ukrainian counter-offensive, which can end in a “just lasting peace.”
The American diplomat did not ignore the role of China in achieving peace.
I think we are open to any country making a responsible effort to advance peace, and that starts with a few things. First of all, by recognizing that the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine is at stake, so any peace agreement should have this as a basis, the US official said.
According to him, it is very important that everyone involved in strengthening peace communicate directly with the Ukrainian side.
Recall, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba urged the allies not to consider the expected counteroffensive as the final battle in the war with Russia. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that the Armed Forces of Ukraine received 1,550 armored vehicles, 230 tanks and a large amount of ammunition on the eve of the counteroffensive.
