US and Ukrainian officials have been having heated debates behind the scenes for weeks over strategy and tactics to revive Kyiv’s slow-moving counteroffensive.
Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny told US officials that Ukrainian forces are on the verge of a breakthrough at the front. On Thursday, August 24, The Wall Street Journal wrote.
“Zaluzhny told US officials that the Ukrainians were on the verge of a breakthrough,” the WSJ pointed out.
According to the publication, US military officials believe that Ukraine has a chance to succeed. The United States also believes that the amount of military equipment transferred to Ukraine is sufficient for a counter-offensive and is unlikely to remain at the same level in 2024.
“The United States encourages the Ukrainians to concentrate their forces to try to break through Russian defenses and reach the Sea of Azov,” the newspaper wrote.
It is pointed out that the parties still do not agree on how to turn on the water to the Russians in the limited time they have before the onset of winter.
In a conversation with the Americans, Zaluzhny said: “You do not understand the nature of this conflict.”
“This is not a battle against the rebels. This is the Battle of Kursk,” he explained using one of the greatest battles of World War II as an example.
At the same time, he said that the Ukrainian troops were on the verge of a breakthrough, but did not specify the details.
It will be remembered that since the beginning of the war, Russia has lost almost 260 thousand soldiers who were killed. In the past day alone, 340 conquerors and 93 units of equipment were liquidated.
