Ukraine lost Avdiivka not because of the lack of courage of the Ukrainian military, but because of “inaction by Congress.”
American congressmen are to blame for the deaths of Ukrainians and the withdrawal of Ukrainian Armed Forces from Avdiivka. About this on Tuesday, February 20, stated White House National Security Council Strategic Communications Coordinator John Kirby.
He noted that Ukraine was able to fend off attacks from the occupying Russian forces for several months until ammunition ran out.
“Especially these types of artillery ammunition are needed to prevent Russian forces from reaching the defense lines of Ukraine and capturing these positions,” Kirby said.
The White House spokesman stressed that Ukraine lost Avdiivka not because of a lack of courage by the Ukrainian military, but because of “inaction by Congress.”
“And we warned Congress that if it didn’t act, Ukraine would suffer losses on the battlefield, which is what happened,” Kirby said.
At the same time, he called the decision to withdraw troops from Avdiivka wise.
We remind you that on the evening of February 17 it became known that the units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces left Avdiivka. This happened after several months of continuous attacks by the Russian aggressors, who lost thousands of military personnel and hundreds of equipment in the battles for the city.
